Ed Psy 507 Final Exam

Name ______________________________________

You will be using the Glutting data set (the same data set you used for the second exam) for all the calculations you are supposed to do, as well as for the computer output contained here. Here are some brief descriptions of the subtests from the WISC-III along with their symbols.

Picture Completion (PC) - A set of colorful pictures of common objects and scenes each of which is missing an important part which the child identifies.

Information (INF) - A series of orally presented questions that tap the child's knowledge about common events, objects, places and people.

Coding (CD) - A series of simple shapes (Coding A) or numbers (Coding B), each paired with a simple symbol. The child draws the symbol in its corresponding shape (Coding A) or under its corresponding number (Coding B), according to a key.

Similarities (SM) - A series of orally presented pairs of words for which the child explains the similarity of the common objects or concepts they represent.

Picture Arrangement (PA) - A set of colorful pictures, presented in mixed-up order, which the child rearranges into a logical story sequence.

Arithmetic (ARITH) - A series of arithmetic problems which the child solves mentally and responds to orally.

Block Design (BD) - A set of modeled or printed two-dimensional geometric patterns which the child replicates using two-color cubes.

Vocabulary (VOC) - A series of orally presented words which the child orally defines.

Object Assembly (OA) - A set of puzzles of common objects, each presented in a standardized configuration, which the child assembles to form a meaningful whole.

Comprehension (COMP) - A series of orally presented questions that require the child's solving of everyday problems or understanding of social rules and concepts.

Symbol Search (SS) - A series of paired groups of symbols, each pair consisting of a target group and a search group. The child scans the two groups and indicates whether or not a target symbol appears in the search group.

Digit Span (DS) - A series of orally presented number sequences which the child repeats verbatim for Digits Forward and in reverse order for Digits Backwards.

Mazes (MZ) - A set of increasingly difficult mazes, printed in a response booklet, which the child solves with a pencil.

Scores from these subtests can be grouped into intelligence quotients. In general, three intelligence quotients are available a Verbal IQ (VIQ) and Performance IQ (PIQ) and an overall measure of intelligence the Full Scale IQ (FSIQ).

For each of the following questions, please answer the question with a Yes or No response, and then provide a single ANOVA table using the following model that you would publish to support your answer.

1. Is VIQ a reliable predictor of children’s Listening Comprehension (LISTEN)?

2. Is PIQ a reliable predictor of children’s Listening Comprehension (LISTEN)?

3. Are VIQ and PIQ scores taken together reliable predictors of the child's Listening comprehension (LISTEN) score on the achievement test?

4. Is PIQ in addition to VIQ a significant predictor of LISTEN?

4. Using Helmert contrasts is there a significant difference in FSIQ between the different REGIONS in the U.S.? Is this what you would expect?

5. Using the following Factor Analysis output from the data provided to us by Glutting, answer these questions. Note you may need to conduct some procedures other than Factor by yourself to answer some questions.

a. How many factors would typically be derived by most researchers.

b. Circle the variables in the appropriate place on the output below that should be included if one were naming each factor.

c. How much variance is explained by the total number of derived factors? _________

d. Using the average reliability measures reported below, calculate the common, error, and specific variance of each subtest.

6. Using the following discriminant analysis output, answer these questions?

a. Were we able to significantly discriminate between the four different races using the WISC-III subtest scores? Is this what you would expect? How would you explain these results?

b. How many significant discriminant functions are there?

c. Circle the variables that would be used to name the discriminant function(s).
