| The Mental Status Exam | • Provides cross disciplinary language • Shapes direction of further treatment |
| WAIS-IV- Normative Sample | n-2200, 70% Caucasian (Matches the census data 07-08) |
| FSIQ- Full Scale IQ (When can it not be used) | If the lowest scored index is >23 pts or 1.5 SD from the highest then the FSIQ can not be interpreted |
| GAI- General ability index (What are the index used, what do they best measure, when can you not use it) | subtests=best measure of g Cant be interpreted if the difference between the VCI and PRI is > 23 pts or 1.5SD) |
| Cognitive Proficiency Index (CPI)- (when is it used, what does it compare, what are the index used) | only use if you cant use the FSIQ or the GAI Compares the CPI and the GAI Working Memory (DS, AR) Processing Speed (CD, SS) |
| Verbal Comprehension (VCI) | Similarities Vocabulary Information (Comprehension) |
| Working Memory | Digit Span Arithmetic (Letter Number Sequencing) |
| Perceptual Reasoning (PRI) | Block Design Matrix Reasoning Visual Puzzles (figure weights) (picture completion) |
| Processing Speed | Coding Symbol Search (cancellation) |
| Keith's Five Factors | Crystallized Intelligence Short-term memory fluid reasoning visual processing processing speed |
| Crystallized Intelligence | vocabulary + Information (language) |
| Short-term memory | Digit Span + Letter Number Sequencing (Memory/Learning) |
| Fluid Reasoning | Matrix Reasoning + Figure Weights (Attention/ executive functioning |
| Visual Processing | Block Design + Visual Puzzles (Visuospatial functioning) |
| Processing Speed | Symbol Search + Coding (Sensorimotor) |
| When should you use Keith Five Factors | When there is a variability among subtest scores in the PRI. Between 16-69 Administered LNS and FW |
| The Flynn effect | The average IQ of the U.S. population has increased an average of 3 points per decade. |
| What creates the Flynn Effect | Using a test at the end of its life- about 10 years after the norming population. The social reinforcement of intellectual ability |

| John L. Horn | Expanded on Cattells Theory |
| John Carroll | Combined cattells and horns theory to create the CHC |
| Heritability | THe proportion of variation of a trait which can be attributed to genetic factors as opposed to environmental |
| "g" | represents the common factor underlying diverse measures of functioning, Generalized intelligence |
