Change in Plans!
I waas unexpectedly called out of town last night (I'm sending this from San Luis Obispo, and have to be in San Jose later today). Surprisingly, I did not remember the Sattler book on my way out the door ( :, so I cannot post the critical values for comparison with the index scores. For this reason, we will do that part of the homework assignment together in class on Tuesday. Everything else should be complete by class time on Tuesday: that is, make sure you have all scaled scores calculated, all IQ and Index scores looked up (with their corresponding percentiles and 95% confidence intervals). Make sure you have checked to see if there is a significant split between his Verbal IQ and Performance IQ scores. Also make sure that you have computed the mean subtest score for each IQ and Index score, and the discrepancy between each contributing subtest and the IQ/Index means. For the Verbal IQ and Performance IQ subtests, make sure you have looked up the discrepancies, indicated any significant differences, and indicated the direction of the difference. Also make sure that you have interpreted Timothy's absolute strengths and weaknesses profile using the charts.
In other words, make sure that you have done everything on the sheet except look up the significance of the difference between his mean subtest scores and individual subtest scores on the Indices (VCI, POI, WMI, PSI). Essentenially, you will do everything for Timothy that we did in class for Beverly, plus computing the mean subtest scores and differences between individual subtest scores and mean subtest scores on the Indices. The only thing we will do in class together on Tuesday is determine whether or not these difference are significant, and if so, in what direction.
Thanks, and have a great weekend!
