Study Notes

Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale

  • Developed by Alfred Binet in 1905 as the Binet-Simon Scale, the first published intelligence test to provide organized and detailed administration and scoring instructions.
  • Introduced the concept of IQ and alternate items for specified conditions.
  • Criticized for lack of representativeness of the standardization sample.

1916 Revision

  • Published by Lewis Terman, containing alternate items at most age levels.
  • Emphasizes abstraction and novel problem solving, extending the range of items relative to the Binet-Simon Scale.
  • Based on extensive research literature and extensive standardization.

1937 Revision

  • Utilized a large geographically diverse standardization sample.
  • Contains alternate items at most levels, sharing items to maintain continuity with earlier versions.
  • Extends the range of items, based on extensive research literature.
  • Includes more performance tests at earlier age levels and more representative norms.
  • Includes parallel form and uses toys to make the test more engaging for young children.
  • Verbal items allow subjects to display fluency, imagination, unusual or advanced concepts, and complex linguistic usage.

1937 Scale Development

  • Developed two equivalent forms, labeled L (for Lewis) and M (for Maude).
  • Introduced new types of tasks for use with preschool-level and adult-level test-takers.
  • Criticized for lack of representation of minority groups during the test's development.

1960 Revision

  • Consisted of only a single form (labeled L-M) and included the best items from the two forms of the 1937 test.
  • Used the deviation IQ tables in place of the ratio IQ tables.

1972 Revision

  • Criticized for the quality of the standardization sample, which may have overrepresented the West and large urban communities.

Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition (SB:FE)

  • Published in 1986, using a point scale instead of an age scale.
  • Represented a significant departure from previous versions in theoretical organization, test organization, and test content.

Measuring Intelligence

  • Techniques used in infancy (birth to 18 months) include testing alerting response, assessing responsiveness, and focusing a light on the eyes of the infant.
  • APGAR Scale is used to assess a newborn's condition, evaluating appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration.
  • Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) measures neonate's responses to the environment.

Tests Used in Measuring Intelligence

  • 1905: Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon created the world's first formal test of intelligence.
  • 1908: The original Binet-Simon Scale was in use in the United States.
  • 1912: A modified version of the Binet-Simon Scale was published, extending the age range of the test downward to 3 months.
  • 1916: Lewis Terman published a translation and extension of the Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale.
