    Study Notes

    Intelligence and Culture

    • Indigenous cultures rate performance IQ tests as more relevant to intelligence, which measures problem-solving skills and spatial abilities.
    • Culture fair tests rely upon abilities such as problem-solving, spatial reasoning, and visual processing.

    IQ Sampling and Testing

    • Normative IQ samples tend to be based on non-Indigenous people due to historical and sociocultural factors.
    • The Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM) was designed to be non-verbal and culture-neutral for use with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

    The Flynn Effect

    • The Flynn effect refers to the steady rise in IQ scores across generations in many populations.
    • Pattern completion tasks have shown the most significant impact of the Flynn effect.
    • Research suggests that the absence of the Flynn effect in certain tasks may be due to a ceiling effect, where high-scoring individuals have limited room for improvement.

    Test Validity

    • A potential problem with the validity of a test is that it may not measure the intended construct, leading to inaccurate conclusions.
    • Face validity is important in most applied contexts, as it influences test-takers' motivation and willingness to engage with the test.

    Cross-Cultural Assessment

    • Factors that may contribute to potential problems with validity of psychometric tests across different cultures include:
      • Linguistic and cultural differences
      • Different cognitive styles and problem-solving approaches
      • Bias in test content and administration

    Specific Cognitive Assessments

    • The Knox Cube Imitation Test assesses spatial memory and learning abilities.
    • The Queensland Test (QT) assesses cognitive abilities such as attention, memory, and problem-solving.
    • The Kimberley Indigenous Cognitive Assessment (KICA) is a culturally appropriate test designed for use with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, assessing cognitive abilities such as attention, memory, and problem-solving.

    Limitations of Western-Based IQ Tests

    • The main issue with administering Western-based IQ tests to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders is that they may not be culturally relevant or fair, potentially leading to inaccurate results and biased conclusions.
