Contemporary Intellectual Assessment: Theories, Tests, and Issues

by Dawn P. Flanagan (Editor), Patti L. Harrison (Editor)

Now in a thoroughly revised and expanded second edition, this comprehensive work provides the most current information about theory and research on assessment of intellectual abilities and processes. Leading test authors, theorists, and scholars review the conceptual and research underpinnings of recent editions of intelligence tests, including the WISC-IV, KABC-II, SB5, and WJ III, and offer recommendations for interpretation. Highlights include new and fully revised chapters on assessment of special populations, including culturally and linguistically diverse individuals, preschoolers, and children with learning disabilities. Other new chapters describe cutting-edge interpretive approaches (e.g., nondiscriminatory and cross-battery methods) and current theories (e.g., CHC theory, Gardner's MI theory, Sternberg's triarchic theory of successful intelligence, Luria's theory of information processing); outline ways to link assessment to interventions; and address standards-based educational reform.

[Taylor Caruso - Bucher · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book provided a lot of helpful and insightful information on the classic and contemporary intellectual assessments. Well-written and read on Vital source. I had to read this for a major paper on intelligence and it was formatted in a way that I could read it in one day. There was a lot of information but also well-written and edited that I could read and re-read without getting bored or confused.
