Intelligence Scale
The Stanford Binet tests ability in children & usually takes around an hour to for a child to complete. It is given by a psychologist and in the case of a child
there are no parents
present. The Stanford Binet IQ test has five areas that measure both verbal and non-verbal.
The WISC is often preferred to Stanford Binet in testing young children because it requires more concentration to complete so its more useful in measuring the cognitive capabilities. - 4Herdity (Genes) vs. EnvironmentHeredity plays a role in intelligence
Environment plays a role through:
*prenatal care
*postnatal care
*Nutrition
*Schooling
*Stimulating environments - 5IQ Scores130 and above is gifted; 70 and below is mentally challenged.
*Bell Curve for IQ-Normal Distribution - 6Research on First Bornsoverrepresented among Nobel Prize
winners
(Clark & Rice, 1982)
classical music
composers
(Schubert, Wagner & Schubert, 1977)
and prominent psychologists
(Terry, 1989).

*longitudinal studies demonstrate that there is no relationship between birth order and IQ. Important to note that IQ is only ONE factor in achievement of success. - 7Research on LatebornsIntelligence and Creativity

revolutionary leaders and scientists, and they may in fact be more creative
than their firstborn siblings (Sulloway, 1996; 1999; Simonton, 1984/1999, 1999) - 8Exceptionalities*Gifted*
Upper end of the ability continuum (IQ > 130) who need supplemental help to
achieve potential.
Learn faster than and easily than other same age peers
Can be largest underachievers if left to work at level of non gifted peers. - 9Teaching gifted kids1. Enrichment of the curriculum
(field trips, simulations, independent work)
2. Acceleration of regular curriculum
CHALLENGES:
