A tentative revision and extension of the Binet-Simon measuring scale of Intelligence.

Abstract

OLUME 111 FEBRUARY, 1912 NUMBER 2 'Age here means age at last birthday, (. r., 4 years includes children between 4 and r>. etc.

The magical numbers 7 and 4 are resistant to the Flynn effect: No evidence for increases in forward or backward recall across 85 years of data

“…Also, some sources were not based on a sample sufficiently representative to be considered reasonably normative. Notable exclusions were Russell's (1975Russell's ( , 1988 revision of the WMS, the Stanford-Binet (S-B) intelligence batteries (Terman, 1917;Terman & Childs, 1912), as well as Starr (1924), Brener (1940) and Elwood (2001). Thus, based on the information included in Table 1, it can be seen that there were 10 normative sample sources included in this investigation across 85 years (1923 to 2008).…”

Developmental and Social Interaction in Categories of Word‐definition

“…THE value of a qualitative analysis of the vocabulary definitions of children of different ages was recognised by Terman and Childs (1912), Terman (1916) and Pintner et a/. (1 944).…”

“…As in Feifel and Lorge's study, there was no evidence of a sex difference in level of definition at any age. Terman (1918) and Wechsler (1958) both acknowledged the criticism that vocabulary is necessarily influenced by educational and cultural opportunities, though Wechsler pointed out that a subject's cultural milieu is more likely to be revealed in quality of definition or knowledge of particular words than in total number of words known. Spache (1943) found that the Binet Vocabulary scores of children in private American schools tended to be in advance of these children's mental ages on the Stanford-Binet.…”

Operationism in psychology: A discussion of contextual antecedents and an historical interpretation of its longevity

“…Sampling carefully from the kinds of activities deemed necessary for adequate performance in school, Binet developed age norms for these tasks and created the "intelligence" test.27 Henry H. Goddard published the first English language version,28 but the most influential translation was presented by Lewis M. Terman and H. G. Childs in 1912. 29 This was quickly adopted into the North American context eventuating in the 1916 Stanford-Binet Test of Intelligen~e.~'…”
