9 Bhatia Battery Performance Test.pptx

Psychology and assessments

1. “Intelligence is the ability to adjust oneself to a new situation.” W. Stern 1914 “Intelligence is the ability to think abstractly.” Terman 1921 “Intelligence is sometime described as the ability to learn quickly and to retain learning .” Haber and Fried 1975 Intelligence is the capacity to understand the world, thinking rationally and use Resources effectively when faced with challenges.” Feldman (Known)

2. Classification on the basis of Administration Individual Intelligence Test : Test given one on one by a certified evaluator, most commonly used for educational placement decisions. Like- Koh’s Block Test, Pass Along Test Group Intelligence Test : Given to a large group or whole class, Administrated by teacher s as a screening process to determine who differs from the average and a closer look or individual test. Like- Army Alpha Test, Army Beta Test Classification on the basis of Posts Verbal Intelligence Test Non- Verbal Intelligence Test Performance Intelligence Test Non- Language Intelligence Test

3. Chandra Mohan Bhatia, former director of Uttar Pradesh Mano Vigyanshala Constructed this test for Indian Population in 1955. Five Sub –Tests : Koh’s Block Design Alexander Pass a Long Pattern Drawing Test Immediate Memory Test Picture Construction Test

4. Standardization of 05 subtests was done for over 4 years in village & cities in place of cross cultural settings. Split Half Reliability: .55 Validity: .77 Correlation with other intelligence tests is: .67-.82 Total Maximum time: 1 hour. Total Maximum score: 95

5. Koh’s Block Design Test- 10 types of tests out of the Koh’s Block Design Test have been included in the battery. There is one card on every subject upon which is depicted a colour design. The Subject or the examinee see design and makes a similar one out of the block as shown the figure below. These designs become correspondingly more a more complex, having been simple at the start. Alexander Pass Along Test- The Bhatia battery also includes Alexander Pass Along Test , there are some designs. The subject shifts coloured pieces in an open box and places them similar design. Pattern Drawing Test- This test has been developed by Dr. Bhatia himself. In this there are eight cards on each of which there is a particular form. The subject draw particular figure of pattern after seeing this form.

6. Immediate Memory Test- Some digits are recited, which are immediately repeated by the subject. This activity throes some light on the immediate memory of the subject. Picture Construction Test- In this sub-test, there are five subjects, in which pictures relating to the Indian rural life are fragmented into 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 pieces respectively. At one time, Pieces of a picture are placed before the subject who puts them in order and constructs the picture.

7. Instructions for Koh’s Block Design Test Design No. No. of Block Max. Time (In Min.) 1 4 2 2 4 2 3 4 2 4 4 2 5 9 2 6 9 3 7 9 3 8 16 3 9 16 3 10 16 3 Note:- Stop the test when failure has been recorded twice in succession.

8. Koh’s Block Design Test

9. Instructions for Pass-A-Long Test Design no. Block Max. Time (In Min.) 1 As per design 2 2 As per design 2 3 As per design 2 4 As per design 2 5 As per design 3 6 As per design 3 7 As per design 4 8 As per design 4 Note:- Block have not to be lifted, but may only be moved.

10. Pass-A-Long Test

11. There are eight patterns Increasing difficulty from 1 st to 8 th Without repeating lines and without lifting pencil Stop the test when failure has been recorded twice in succession. Maximum 2 minutes for each 4 patterns & 3 minutes for patterns no. 5-8

12. Pattern-Drawing Test

13. I will say something. Listen attentively. Repeat it after I have finished. We start with Two letters & last go to 9 letters. We have Three alternative sets. If failure is recorded in the first set, try the second and third alternative sets. If failure is recorded in all the three alternatives a final failure is recorded and we stop.

14. Sub Tests Parts Time (In Minutes) 1 2 2 2 4 2 3 6 2 4 8 3 5 12 3 Note:- In case of failure, record not only failure but the number of pieces the subject was able to fit in correctly with in the time limit. Stop the test when failure has been recorded twice in succession.

15. Intelligence Quotient- Intelligence is the capacity to understand the world, thinking rationally and use Resources effectively when faced with challenges. Stern created the concept of IQ. Mental Age- The age of children who averaged a certain score on intelligence tests assigned to the test take based on their achieved score to assess if they are performing at the same level as their peers. Chronological Age- Actual Age
