n 1838 , Esquirol, a French physician ,


distinguished levels of imbecility
nd idiocy
placed great emphasis upon language
skills in the diagnosis of mental
retardation

Three levels of mental


retardation:
1)those using short
phrases,
2) those using only
monosyllables, and
3) those with cries only,
no speech.

Stanford- Binet test


is

a modified version of the


Binet-Simon Intelligence scale

O. Edouard Seguin (1812


1880)

--had been a student of Esquirol and


had also studied with J. M. G. Itard
(17741838), who is well known for
his five-year attempt to train the Wild
Boy of Aveyron, a feral child who had
lived in the woods for his first 11 or
12
years
a
French physician contributed
significantly to the training of the
feeble-minded
Introduced sense training and
muscle training techniques
One of his work is Seguin Formboard Test

Seguin Form-board
Test
idea of using form boards began by the turn of
19th century
to assess general intelligence covering mental
functions like form perception, visual matching
and discrimination, eye-hand or psychomotor
coordination and cognitive perceptual abilities in
children
The SFB consist of ten holes of different shapes
and sizes with corresponding objects of the same
shapes and sizes to be inserted in the holes

Alfred Binet
A French psychologist,
invented the first practical
intelligence test
His test were used to
measure human ability,
personality,
characteristics, attitudes,
interest, and many other
aspects of behavior.

Theodore Simon

In 1905 Binet and Simon devised the first


intelligence scale which marked the appearance
of the scale for measurement of intelligence
In 1908 second revision introduce the concept
of mental age
In 1911, third revision more test were added at
different year level and extend to the adult level
the test was brought to United State particularly
at Stanford University
In 1916, the Stanford-Binet or Stanford Revision
was published which made use of the intelligence
quotient (IQ)

Stanford-Binet or Stanford
Revision
It is the top intelligence test available in U.S.
It measures intellectual and cognitive functioning
Use for educational planning and placement
Measure 5 factors

James McKeen Cattell


In 1908, he was the first
to use the term mental
test

He confine his test to


the simpler and mental
processes and as a
result he is known as
The Father of Mental
Testing

Dr. Edward L. Thorndike


In 1904 , an american
educator and father of
educational
measurement,
published his first book
in education and
mental measurement in
this year
Introduction to the
Theory of Mental and
Social Measurements

Kuhlman
In 1912, he published the first revision of the
Binet scale.it was a downward extension of the
test to the age level of three months , represented
on of the earliest effort to develop pre-school of
infant test of intelligence

Lewis M. Terman

1916, best known for his revision of


Binet Scale theStanford-Binet or
Stanford Revision
In 1937, the second Stanford Revision
was printed consisting of two
equivalent forms, L and M by Terman
and Mervill
In 1960, the third revision , provided a
single form (L-M) incorporating the
best items from the two 1937 forms to
avoid obsolescence and discontinuity
In 1972, restandardized of form L-M,
test remained unchanged but the
norms were derived from a new
sample of approximately 2,100 cases
tested during the 1971-1972
academic year

The Army Alpha and the


Army Beta
Robert M. Yerkes, A well-known psychology
professor at Harvard, convinced the U.S.
government and the army that all of his 1.75
million recruit should be given intelligence test for
a purpose of classification and assignment
Together with, Yoakam, Whipple, Otis the army
alpha and army beta was devised.

Army Alpha
was based on the then
unpublished work of Otis
(1918) and consisted of
eight verbally loaded tests
for average and highfunctioning recruits.

The eight tests were:


1. following oral directions,
2. arithmetical reasoning,
3. practical judgment,
4. synonymantonym
pairs,
5. disarranged sentences,
6. number series
completion,
7. analogies, and
8. information.

Army Beta

was a nonverbal group


test designed for use
with illiterates and
recruits whose first
language was not English

Wissler and Jasfrow


An American psychologist, conduct an experiment
on the relationship between intelligence and
physical characteristics, and sensory acuity and
motor skills.
And they found out that no relationship existed
between intelligence and physical characteristics as
well as sensory acuity and motor skills

David Wechsler
was a leading
American
psychologist. He
developed wellknown intelligence
scales, such as the
Wechsler
Adult
He believed that
intelligence

The Wechsler Adult


Intelligence Scale (WAIS)
TheWechsler Adult Intelligence Scale(WAIS) was
developed first in 1939 and then called the
Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Test
From these he derived the
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children(WISC)
An adaptation from adult scale for use of 5-15 years old

created these tests to find out more about his


patients at the Bellevue clinic and he found that
the current Binet IQ test unsatisfactory..
The WAIS is today the most commonly administered psychological test (Kaplan & Sacuzzo, 2009). The tests are currently updated approximately every
ten years to compensate for theFlynn effect.

The Wechsler Adult


Intelligence Scale (WAIS)
In 1955 the second edition of WAIS was
published
The current version of the test, the WAIS-IV,
which was released in 2008
composed of 10 core subtests and five
supplemental subtests, with the 10 core subtests
comprising the Full Scale IQ. With the new WAIS-IV,
the verbal/performance subscales from previous
versions were removed and replaced by the index
scores

based on the total


combined performance of
the VCI, POI, WMI, and PSI
Two broad scores are also
generated, which can be

was a British and American
psychologist, known for his
psychometric research into
intrapersonal
psychological structure
In 1950 , he published the
culture free or Culture Fair
Intelligence Test (CFIT)
The second edition was
revised in 1961
The test has two forms A
and B each form consist of
50 items

t to produce a measure of cognitive abilities that accurately estimated intelligence devoid of sociocultural and environmental influe

Seguin Form-board Test

Seguin Form-board
Test
The Seguin Form Board Test is
based on the single factor
theory of intelligence, measures
speed and accuracy. It is useful
in evaluating a child's eye-hand
co-ordination, shape-concept,
visual perception and cognitive
ability. The test primarily used
to assess visuo-motor skills. It
includes Gesell figures where in
the child is ask to copy ten
geometrical figures to evaluate
visuo-motor ability. Test
materials consist of ten
differently shaped wooden
blocks and a large form board
with recessed corresponding
shapes
