Question 1

How do the Stanford-Binet, Wechsler Scales, and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development differ in the way each reports a person's level of intelligence?

Accepted Answer

The Stanford-Binet, Wechsler Scales, and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development differ in the way each reports a person's level of intelligence in several ways.

The Stanford-Binet test is designed for individuals aged 2 to 85+ and provides a single overall score that represents general intelligence. It also provides subtest scores in areas such as verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and nonverbal reasoning.

The Wechsler Scales, which include the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), also provide an overall intelligence quotient (IQ) score, as well as separate scores for verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed.

The Bayley Scales of Infant Development, on the other hand, are specifically designed for infants and young children up to 42 months old. This assessment measures cognitive, language, and motor development, and provides separate scores for each of these areas rather than a single overall intelligence score.

In summary, the Stanford-Binet and Wechsler Scales provide overall IQ scores and subtest scores, while the Bayley Scales focus on specific areas of development in infants and young children. Each test is tailored to different age groups and provides a unique way of reporting an individual's level of intelligence.
