CHC Theory
The Similarities subtest on the WISC-V maps onto which CHC theory ability?
Gc
What is the main limitation of the Total Achievement score on the WIAT-4?
It is very sensitive to variations across academic skills --> can be more meaningful to examine each composite individually
Name a consideration in the use of non-verbal or language-reduced testing.
-Many tests not truly non-verbal
OR
-Less predictive validity of academic success
Mike received a standard score of 65 on the Beery VMI. What is your primary recommendation in your report?
Follow-up assessment with OT.
This test takes approximately 30 minutes to administer and measures phonological processing skills related to reading.
CTOPP-2
Which CHC theory ability has a relatively limited capacity?
Short-Term Working Memory - Gsm
Layla is 6 years, 3 months and is suspected of having an intellectual disability. Which cognitive test would be most appropriate?
WPPSI-IV
Name the tool used to evaluate the impact of cognitive and linguistic variables.
Culture-Language Interpretive Matrix (C-LIM)
Name an accommodation that could be provided for a student whose PSI score was 71.
Additional wait time
Time and a half to complete assignments
Check for understanding
Visually present multi-step directions
Jerry is a 8 year old student with a speech language impairment. He has strong receptive vocabulary, but limited expressive vocabulary. Which cognitive test would be appropriate to administer to Jerry?
WNV
UNIT-2
Name a subtest on the WIAT-4 that measures Gq.
Numerical Operations
Fluency (addition, subtraction, multiplication)
Math Problem Solving
This index could be appropriate as a measure of cognitive ability for these groups (depending on the case): CLD, ELL, ASD with language impairment
Nonverbal Index
School psychologists report that this method is the most frequently used method in evaluating CLD students.
English-Language Assessment
A student receives Tier 2 intervention weekly. You completed a psychoeducational assessment, and her reading composite score on the WIAT-4 was 54. What might you recommend to the team?
Tier 3 - increased dosage/individualized skills
Consider eligibility for SPED services.
The VMI targets visual-motor integration. Name three school tasks that require visual-motor integration.
•Gross motor and PE activities
Cutting along lines
Coloring within boundaries
Reproducing drawings, letters, etc. from the board or book
Handwriting components – letter formation, sizing, spacing and line orientation
Gc
How does the WAIS-5 assess memory differently, compared to other Weschler tests?
Begin with assessment in English and follow up with native language assessment for cross-linguistic validation.
SLP evaluation
Name the four neurocognitive areas assessed within the PASS model on the CAS-2.
Planning
Attention
Simultaneous Processing
Successive Processing
Name five broad abilities within CHC theory (name and abbreviation)
Quantitative Knowledge (Gq)
Reading and Writing (Grw)
Com-Knowledge (Gc)
Fluid Reasoning (Gf)
Short-Term Memory (Gsm)
Long-Term Storage & Retrieval (GlR)
Visual Processing (Gv)
Auditory Processing (Ga)
Processing Speed (Gs)
Domain-Specific Knowledge (Gkn)
Reaction & Decision Speed (Gt)
Psychomotor Speed (Gps)
Olfactory Abilities (Go)
Tactile Abilities (Gh)
Kinesthetic Abilities (Gk)
Psychomotor Abilities (Gp)
This index measures intellectual ability, with fewer demands on working memory and processing speed.
General Ability Index
A student with newcomer status to the United States would likely be evaluated using which degree of difference on the C-LIM?
Markedly different
A student scores 13 on Picture Span and 5 on Digit Span. Provide a recommendation to the team.
Present visuals to accompany auditory directions (picture directions, note shells, etc.)
This skill is targeted on the CTOPP-2 due to its correlation with reading development. However, there is no known intervention to support this skill, despite 30 years of research.
