9131400783	achievement test	a test designed to asses what a person has learned	22
9131400784	aptitude test	a test designed to predict a person's future performance, aptitude is the capacity to learn	23
9131400785	standardization	defining uniform testing procedures and meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a pretested group (Representative sample) form a normal distribution or bell curve	24
9131400786	normal curve (normal distribution)	symmetrical, bell shaped curve that describes the distribution of many types of data most scores fall near the mean	25
9131400787	68%	Amount of people with IQs between 85 and 115 (one SD of the mean)	26
9131400788	95%	Amount of people with IQs between 70 and 130 (two SD of the mean)	27
9131400789	The Flynn Effect	intelligence scores have risen throughout the last 100 years or so (due to environment)	28
9131400790	reliability	when it yields consistant results	29
9131400791	split- half reliability	dividing the test into two equal halves and assessing how consistent the scores are	30
9131400792	alternate-forms reliability	using different varieties of the test to measure consistency between them	31
9131400793	test-retest reliability	using the same test on two occasions to measure consitency	32
9131400794	validity	the extent to which a test measures what it is supposed to meaure	33
9131400795	content validity	extent to which a test accurately measure the subject intended to measure (entirety, breadth, etc.)	34
9131400796	predictive validity	the extent to which test score forecasts future behaviors or results	35
9131400797	criterion validity	scores on a particular test are positively correlated with scores on another existing and well established test (criterion) of the same skill, trait, ability	36
9131400798	crystallized intelligence	our accumulated knowledges reflected in vocabulary and analogies tests increases with age	37
9131400799	fluid intelligence	our ability to reason speedily and abstractly, as when solving novel logic problems decreases with age	38
9131400800	intellectual disability	limited mental ability intelligence score of 70 or below formerly referred to as mental retardation	39
9131400801	down syndrome	mild to severe intellectual disability and associated physical disorders extra copy of chromosome 21	40
9131400802	High Intelligence	typically 130 IQ and above gifted education programs	41
9131400803	z-score	tells us whether a particular score is equal to the mean. below the mean or above the mean, by how many standard deviations	42
