Study Notes
Psychological Assessment in Education Contexts
- Cognitive ability tests are used in education to measure learning abilities and achievement
- Achievement tests measure learning in specific skills or areas after instruction, following a set curriculum
- Ability or aptitude tests measure one's capacity for learning specific skills, such as mechanical or clerical aptitudes, and a more general cognitive ability
- Intelligence tests measure a general ability to learn, solve problems, and adapt to new situations, reflecting goal-directed adaptive behavior
Types of Tests
- Achievement tests, ability tests, and intelligence tests are different but overlapping concepts along a continuum, ranging from specific skill areas to general learning ability
- The terms, although seemingly different, are conceptually intertwined, reflecting various aspects of ability (to learn) compared to achievement (of skills and knowledge)
Tests of Intelligence
- Intelligence is the tendency to take and maintain a definite direction, the capacity to adapt, and the power of self-criticism
- Cognitive factors involved predominantly in intelligence include goal-directed behavior, sustained effort, flexibility in responding to feedback, and critical evaluation of one's strategies.
- Intelligence is the aggregate global capacity to act purposefully, think rationally, and deal effectively with the environment, including non-intellective factors such as drive, persistence, and values
Factor Analytic Theories
- Factor analysis identifies correlations among different ability measures, revealing a general intelligence factor (g) and other specific factors contributing to overall intelligence, although, some theorists argue that intelligence entails a complex collection of primary mental abilities.
- Spearman's two-factor theory identified "general ability factor" (g) and specific factors (s)
- Cattell's and Horn's work further distinguished crystallized (Gc) and fluid (Gf) intelligence, representing crystallized knowledge and flexible problem-solving abilities, respectively.
