client in unstructured activities throughout the day
2nd Level = guided observation; intentional direct observation with a checklist/rating scale to
evaluate performance or bx seen
3rd Level = clinical level; observation is done in a controlled setting for a lengthy period of time
Actuarial/Statistical Prediction

,©PREP4EXAMS@2024 [REAL EXAM DUMPS] Friday, July 19, 2024 6:13 AM
(Assessment & Diagnosis) - ✔️✔️based on empirically validated data incorporating regressive or
multiple regressive equations
Clinical Predictions
(Assessment & Diagnosis) - ✔️✔️Based on intuition and experience of observing clincian
Guidelines for assessing culturally diverse populations
(Assessment & Diagnosis) - ✔️✔️1. clarify purpose of evaluation
2. be sensitive to test material that unfairly discriminates
3. use alternative method of assessment that is more appropriate
4. familiarize yourself to the norms/values of the examinee's culture
5. establish rapport or call on another clinician if rapport is not established

specific intelligence factors (s) unique to a task
Horn and Cattell
(Assessment & Diagnosis) - ✔️✔️adjusted Spearman model by dividing (g) into Crystallized
Intelligence (Gc) and Fluid Intelligence (Gf)
Crystallized Intelligence = knowledge and skills acquired thru education & experience; continues
to increase throughout life
Fluid Intelligence = ability to solve new problems; peaks in adolescence and declines thereafter

Seattle Longitudinal Study (Schaie et al.)
(Assessment & Diagnosis) - ✔️✔️- 7 yr intervals from 1956-2005
- no uniform pattern of age-related changes across all intellectual abilities, except for maybe
perceptual speed
Effects of Heredity on Intelligence
(Assessment & Diagnosis) - ✔️✔️- individuals w/genetic similarity have similar levels of
intelligence
- 32-64% of variability in intelligence comes from genetic factors
Effects of Environment on Intelligence
(Assessment & Diagnosis) - ✔️✔️- SES is consistently linked to performance on intelligence tests
- Flynn Effect = gradual increase in IQ scores that occur in industrialized nations
> change of 3-6 points over 1-2 generations
> not due to genetics
Effects of Gender on Intelligence
(Assessment & Diagnosis) - ✔️✔️- females perform better on verbal ability
- males perform better on spatial and quantitative ability
- males more likely to be at extreme ends of score distribution for every type of intelligence
Effects of Race on Intelligence
(Assessment & Diagnosis) - ✔️✔️- Whites outperform African Americans on Stanford-Binet,
Wechsler, and other IQ tests by about 1 SD
> this is diminishing
- Slope bias = predictor is more accurate for one group than for another
- Intercept bias = predictor consistently over-predicts or under-predicts performance for a
particular group
