Autism Spectrum Disorder

• Persistent deficits in social communication and interaction across multiple contexts

• Restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities • Typically recognized in the first two years of life, especially

due to language delays • Symptoms cause clinically significant impairment in social,

occupational, or other important areas of current functioning.

ASD- Causes

• Strong genetic component, 9 out of 10 twins of autistic siblings also have ASD

• Not typically inherited, likely the result of genetic mutation

• Certain toxins or medical conditions in utero

Intelligence

• First measured by Alfred Binet • Developed Intelligence Test- basically tets of

intellectual/scholastic ability • Used “mental age,” compared it to actual age • If a 9-year-old’s score was the average for 6-year-olds, he or

she was assigned a mental age of 6.

Intelligence Tests

• Measure IQ (Intelligence Quotient) IQ = Mental Age/Chronological Age x 100 • Stanfor-Binet Intelligence Test • Wechsler intelligcence Scale for Children • 100 is average IQ for all tests • Good predictors of academic and professional success, not much else • Often compared to Achievement Tests to determine learning disabilities

Intelligence

• First measured by Alfred Binet • Developed Intelligence Test- basically tets of

intellectual/scholastic ability • Used “mental age,” compared it to actual age • If a 9-year-old’s score was the average for 6-year-olds, he or

she was assigned a mental age of 6.

Intelligence Tests

• Measure IQ (Intelligence Quotient) IQ = Mental Age/Chronological Age x 100 • Stanfor-Binet Intelligence Test • Wechsler intelligcence Scale for Children • 100 is average IQ for all tests • Good predictors of academic and professional success, not much else • Often compared to Achievement Tests to determine learning disabilities

• 11-year-olds: 13,000-19,000 words in vocabulary • Grammar improves- metalinguistic awareness • Conversations are reciprocal • Intonation carries meaning

Types of Intelligence

• Fluid Intelligence- reflects information processing capabilities, reasoning, memory

• Crystallized intelligence- information, skills, strategies that have been learned and can be applied to solve problems

• Triarchic Theory • Componential- processing and analyze • Experiential- insight, compare new info to old • Contextual- practical use of info
