Example: Non verbal test - Raven's Progressive Matrices The Raven Progressive Matrices test is a widely used intelligence

test in many research and applied settings. In each test item, one is asked to find the missing pattern in a series. Each set of items gets progressively harder, requiring greater cognitive capacity to encode and analyze. Example: Non-verbal test - Gesell Developmental Schedules for very young children Prior to the preschool years, the assessment tools for infants measure somewhat different components of intellectual ability. An example of an oft-used test is the Gesell Developmental Schedules. This test was first introduced in 1925 and has been revised periodically. The schedules are designed to measure developmental progress of babies and children from 4 weeks to 5 years. These schedules provide a standardized procedure for observing and evaluating the developmental attainment of children in five areas: Gross motor skills: cruises a rail using 2 hands Fine motor skills: uses scissors grasp on string Language development: uses da-da with meaning Adaptive behaviour: pulls a string to obtain a ring Personal-social behaviours: pushes arm through dress if started.
