  2. Fifty years of … Cognitive theory and assessment Three Strands

  3. Fifty years of … Cognitive theory and assessment Psychometrics and test development Three Strands

  4. Fifty years of … Cognitive theory and assessment Psychometrics and test development Research techniques and tools Three Strands

  5. Path of Progress Better Better Better Better Cognitive Cognitive Inform- Instructional Theory Tests tion Planning

  6. The primary purpose for testing should be to find out more about the problem, not to get an IQ. Guiding Principle

  7. Conceptualizations of Intelligence Single General Ability

  8. Conceptualizations of Intelligence Single General Ability Pair of Abilities

  9. Conceptualizations of Intelligence Single General Ability Pair of Abilities Incomplete Set of Broad Abilities

  10. Conceptualizations of Intelligence Single General Ability Pair of Abilities Incomplete Set of Broad Abilities “Complete” Set of Broad Abilities

  11. Nine Broad CHC Factors • Stores of Acquired Knowledge • Comprehension-Knowledge (Gc) • Reading-Writing (Grw) • Mathematics (Gq)

  12. Nine Broad CHC Factors • Stores of Acquired Knowledge • Comprehension-Knowledge (Gc) • Reading-Writing (Grw) • Mathematics (Gq) • Thinking Abilities • Long-Term Retrieval (Glr) • Visual-Spatial Thinking (Gv) • Auditory Processing (Ga) • Fluid Reasoning (Gf)

  13. Nine Broad CHC Factors • Stores of Acquired Knowledge • Comprehension-Knowledge (Gc) • Reading-Writing (Grw) • Mathematics (Gq) • Thinking Abilities • Long-Term Retrieval (Glr) • Visual-Spatial Thinking (Gv) • Auditory Processing (Ga) • Fluid Reasoning (Gf) • Cognitive Efficiency • Processing Speed (Gs) • Short-Term Memory (Gsm)

  14. Conceptualizations of Intelligence Single General Ability Pair of Abilities Incomplete Set of Broad Abilities “Complete” Set of Broad Abilities Narrow Abilities Underlying Broad Abilities

  15. Examples of Narrow Abilities Comprehension-Knowledge (Gc) Language development (LD) General information (K0) Listening ability (LS)

  16. Examples of Narrow Abilities Comprehension-Knowledge (Gc) Language development (LD) General information (K0) Listening ability (LS) Long-Term Retrieval (Glr) Associative memory (MA) Meaningful memory (MM) Naming facility (NA)

  17. Examples of Narrow Abilities Comprehension-Knowledge (Gc) Language development (LD) General information (K0) Listening ability (LS) Long-Term Retrieval (Glr) Associative memory (MA) Meaningful memory (MM) Naming facility (NA) Short-Term Memory (Gsm) Working memory (WM) Memory span (MS)

  19. The Good News … Tests of the future will be more informative.

  20. … and the Bad News Tests of the future will be more informative. Tests of the future will be more complex as test developers close the gap between cognitive theory and practice.

  21. CHC Cognitive Performance Model Stores of Acquired Knowledge (Gc. Gq, Grw) Thinking Abilities (Glr, Gv, Ga, Gf) Cognitive/Academic PERFORMANCE Cognitive Efficiency (Gs.Gsm)

  22. CHC Cognitive Performance Model Stores of Acquired Knowledge (Gc. Gq, Grw) Thinking Abilities (Glr, Gv, Ga, Gf) Cognitive/Academic PERFORMANCE Cognitive Efficiency (Gs.Gsm) Facilitator-Inhibitors (Internal, External)
