Mr. Timberlake Cognitive Abilities

In “A Rounded Version: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences”, Howard Gardner illustrates how there are a variety of intelligences. Gardner starts off with an example how IQ tests may predict achievement in school but may not predict achievement in life. After finding out certain parts of the brain are responsible for certain functions, such as “Broca’s Area” which is responsible for sentence production, Gardner proposes the existence of multiple intelligences. Multiple studies later led him to propose seven distinct intelligences; Musical, bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Each intelligence has certain classifications. According to Gardner’s classifications, I realized my intelligences are bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, and intrapersonal.

This paper discusses the pros and cons of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III). First, important definitional, theoretical issues, including the nature of intelligence, a brief history, and pros and cons are discussed. Next, the development, reliability, validity, and assets and limitations of the WAIS-III are examined. This is followed by discussion of the meaning of IQ scores, use of successive level interpretation and cautions and guidelines for administration. Last, subtests, assessing special population groups, short forms, profile forms, and what a

He scored in the 6th percentile in ability to learn and 3rd percentile in spatial relations. His overall IQ was in the 9th percentile with a score of 80. Although these scores were all very low, he scored on the 98th percentile for protective factors, which he uses to his advantage in football and when interacting with Leigh Anne and her family, such as saving S.J.

Due to concerns regarding T’Niq not having his glasses during the administration of the WISC-, he was administered the CTONI-2 to obtain a measure of his general intelligence utilizing a nonverbal format. T’Niq obtained a full-scale IQ score of 79 on the CTONI-2 which falls at the 8th percentile, indicating that he scored at or above 8 percent of his peers. This score falls within the poor range. T’Niq’s score of 79 on the CTONI-2 is consistent with his score of 73 on the WISC-IV administered at age 9.

Current cognitive assessment results reveal that Tyler’s abilities range from Very Low to Average in the areas of Verbal Comprehension (Average), Visual Spatial (Average), Fluid Reasoning (Average), Working Memory (Low Average),

The WISC-IV is a test of cognitive abilities that measures four global areas and combines them to provide a full-scale intelligence quotient. The four areas include Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Reasoning, Working Memory, and Processing Speed. The Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) is derived from a combination of ten subtest scores and is considered the most representative estimate of global intellectual functioning. The results of the current test conducted on Leo Marcelynas indicate that his Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) is 101. It can be stated with 95% confidence that Leo’s FSIQ falls between 96-106, indicating that he is functioning in the Normative Average Range of intellectual ability. Given the consistency among his scores on Verbal

FSIQ score was in the 96th percentile rank. His FSIQ was in the very high range, which indicated very high scores on his indexes. His strengths were from all of the indexes with the exception of WMI. Specifically, VSI ad FRI being his highest index scores suggested that Justin V. has a high capacity to reason and solve problems and has a strength in spatial reasoning and analyzing visual details. This is consistent with his eagerness to learn, him being taught on a one-on-one basis from his mother in his earlier age, this could have resulted in him learning more, and it was consistent with his interest in reading, playing and collecting puzzle. Justin V. weakness, was from the WMI. He scored in the 68th percentile rank, and average range. However, his average range does not represent his personal weakness. Because he was bored and lacked attention, this could explain his weakness in the WMI. Additionally, if his ears were infected by the multiple ear infections, his listening could have possible been impaired more during this subtest more because he was fatigue. On the other hand, Justin V. demonstrated a high intellectual level for persons 8 years of age. He definitely could continue to practice all of his reading and comprehension skills and math skills and challenge himself to improve those

The Queendom Verbal IQ Test comprised of 70 items which includes items on analogies, idioms and expressions, vocabulary and reading comprehensions, with the objective assessing verbal abilities. With a sample size of approximately 120,000 (M = 100, SD = 15), the reliability as internal consistency

Forrest Gump has a trouble with an array of things like learning, making good decisions and problem solving. He also lacks in social skills. Some other examples are his excessive impulsiveness and does not avoid dangerous situations. Forrest often has trouble understanding rules and acts childish. I believe that Forrest is on the spectrum of mild level of Retardation because he can function in society. Also his ability

Autism spectrum disorder affects many Americans and until the last 20 years was widely unknown. This disorder is characterized by a deficit in social communication and interaction (Mitchell, 2012). Autism spectrum disorder is also characterized in DSM-V by difficulties following the rules of conversation and understanding things that are not explicitly stated. The purpose of this paper is to see how savant syndrome is related to autism spectrum disorder in cognitive functioning. Savant syndrome is a condition where people with developmental disabilities have one area where they excel (Treffert, 2013). A famous example comes from the movie Rain Man, where Dustin Hoffman plays a man with autism spectrum disorder and savant

Human intelligence is one of the most complex and abstract things in the world, but because of one test created by Lewis Terman, a professor of psychology at Stanford University, we are able to see it as a small, simple number (Epstein, 1973). An Intelligence Quotient (IQ) Test scores human intelligence on a numerical scale. Within this scale there are several categories which people are placed in as shown in Table 1. These scores, categories, labels, are tidy, easy to remember, and can greatly influence one’s life. They can act almost like a name tag, and become an identifying factor wherever you go.

It is noted that Tatum having dealt with attention deficit disorder and dyslexia during his childhood however he was quite good at sports like football, soccer, baseball, track, etc. He was an athlete and was good in martial arts too. Initially, he was put at Gaither

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV; Wechsler, 1949). This seminal intelligence scale assesses a child 's general intellectual ability across four domains, producing four corresponding index scores: (1) the Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI), (2) the Visual Spatial Index (VSI), (3) the Working Memory Index (WMI), and finally (4) the Processing Speed Index (PSI). The VCI measures verbal concept formation, specifically assessing children 's ability to listen to a question, draw upon learned information from both formal and informal education, reason through an answer, and express their thoughts aloud. An example item from this index is similarities, vocabulary, and comprehension. Next, the VSI measures non-verbal and fluid reasoning and assesses children 's ability to examine a problem, draw upon visual-motor and visual-spatial skills, organize their thoughts, create solutions, and then test them. An example item from this index is solving a 3D puzzle. The WMI measures working memory and assesses children 's ability to memorize new information, hold it in short-term memory, concentrate, and manipulate that information to produce some result or reasoning processes; an example item would be letter-number sequencing. This measure is particularly important for higher-order thinking, learning, and achievement. Finally, the PSI measures the speed of information processing and assesses children 's abilities to focus attention and quickly scan, discriminate between, and

t's qualitative impairments in social interaction include gross impairment in ability to develop peer relationships appropriate to developmental level (He says "When I was little, mama kep me inside a lot, so as the other kids wouldn't bother me"), and it does not seem likely that he was motivated to share enjoyment, interests or achievements with other people at least at ages of primary school. His impairments in communication include a delay in the development of spoken language and marked impairment in the ability to sustain a conversation with others, and some of which are unchanged throughout his life ("I ain't too good at long conversation"). His famous line or "I got to pee" can be evaluated as a stereotyped and idiosyncratic use of
