Alternative methods for mental examiners

Abstract

Suggests the alternative methods for examining practice, memory, transfer and intelligence. Describes the following alternative material: number material including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; consecutive magnitude; the reversed clock test by Binet et al; the problem of enclosed boxes given by Terman and Yerkes; the Ingenuity test; a 'relational' test with numbers; and memory for digits. Other material dealt with language and comprised tables for alphabetical sequence, alternate directions and vocabulary lists, together with a 'cued-combination' method for vocabulary and spelling. A simplified form of the Kent-Rosenoff frequency tables in the association tests was also included. Printed forms have been standardized for these alternative materials for mental measurement.
