SPSY 6312 - Individual Intelligence Testing


Credit(s): 3

This course is the doctoral-level version of SPSY 5312. The purpose of this course is to teach the administration, scoring, interpretation and use of measures of cognitive ability as well as achievement. Students will receive direct instruction and supervised practice with measures of cognitive functioning as well as measures of academic achievement.

Cognitive functioning measures will include but not be limited to the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition, (WISC-V) (five kits total), the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition, (WAIS-IV) (four kits total), and the Differential Ability Scale (DAS) Cognitive Scale/Mullen Scales of Early learning (one kit total).

The two measures of achievement will be the third edition of the Woodcock Johnson Tests of Achievement, Fourth Edition, (WJ ACH-IV) (three kits total) and the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test, Third Edition, (WIAT-III) (five kits total). This course also will be infused with social/behavioral measures, such as the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC-III).

This course also will address historical perspectives, psychometric issues, current social/legal controversies, theories and skills related to standardized assessment practices. Issues related to psychological report writing and non-discriminatory assessment will be emphasized.
