Assessment Of Intelligence

Prakruthi is the innate constitution of an individual based on Dosha predominance determined at the time of con- ception which cannot be changed from birth till the death. Siblings of the same parents are not identical with each other in their physical strength, intellectual development, behaviour and reaction to various conditions of environ- ment. Intelligence is a property of mind that is related to abilities, such as the capacity to reason, to plan, to solve problems, to think abstractly, to comprehend ideas, to use language, and to learn.

Patient Performance

PURPOSE: To examine two competing hypotheses relating to intellectual loss among children treated for medulloblastoma (MB): Children with MB either: (1) lose previously learned skills and information; or (2) acquire new skills and information but at a rate slower than expected compared with healthy same-age peers. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-four pediatric MB patients were evaluated who were treated with postoperative radiation therapy (XRT) with or without chemotherapy. After completion of XRT, a total of 150 examinations were conducted by use of the child version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scales. These evaluations provided a measure of intellectual functioning called the estimated full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ). Changes in patient performance corrected for age (scaled scores) as well as the uncorrected performance (raw scores) were analyzed. RESULTS: At the time of the most recent examination, the obtained mean estimated FSIQ of 83.57 was more than one SD below expected population norms. A significant decline in cognitive performance during the time since XRT was demonstrated, with a mean loss of 2.55 estimated FSIQ points per year (P = .0001). An analysis for the basis of the intelligence quotient (IQ) loss revealed that subtest raw score values increased significantly over time since XRT, but the rate of increase was less than normally expected, which resulted in decreased IQ scores. CONCLUSION: These results support the hypothesis that MB patients demonstrate a decline in IQ values because of an inability to acquire new skills and information at a rate comparable to their healthy same-age peers, as opposed to a loss of previously acquired information and skills.

Assessment Of Intelligence

Objective: to study teratogenic effect – the long-term pregnant mother-taken antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) related consequences on paired child mental, social and intellectual development.Material and methods. There were enrolled 80 subjects: 40 children aged 3–9 years and paired mothers suffering from epilepsy for 3 to 35 years. Thirteen and 27 patients had generalized and focal epilepsy, respectively. Seven mothers were in prolonged remission without taking AEDs, 23 were on monotherapy and 10 were on polytherapy. Child research methods: T. Achenbach's clinical CBCL (The Child Behavior Checklist) scales (for children aged under 5 and 6–18 years), a questionnaire for detecting attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and other behavioral disorders modified by N.N. Zavadenko, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), Luria batteries of neuropsychological tests adapted by J.M. Glozman (for children aged 3–6 and 7–12 years).Results. Neuropsychological study and assessment of intelligence revealed problems in the development of praxis, speech, gnostic functions and memory, as well as disproportion in the development of verbal and non-verbal structures of intelligence. The most common behavioral disorders in children were impulsivity, distraction, difficulties in controlling and organizing movements. The most affected spheres were praxis (motor awkwardness, fine motor disorders of the hands) and speech.Conclusion. The proposed hypothesis that the teratogenic effect of taking AEDs may result in unevenness or delay in developing mental functions in a child was confirmed.

Iq Tests

Psychological tests, in general, measure defined characteristics of people. It is unclear from the terminology, however, whether “IQ tests” measure a characteristic called intelligence or, going with the logic of the expression, measure a score (or index) called an intelligence quotient. We submit that instruments which are so labeled are misnamed and misused also when those who apply them do so basically to gain an IQ to the neglect of the important features of intellectual functioning that can be gained from a test of intelligence. The nonprofessional who has a personal or occupational interest in the assessment of intelligence should be made aware of the potential contributions of intelligence tests and the proper role of IQ.

The Relationship

The child is a unique creature, the family expects that the child will grow optimally, the factors that influence the optimal growth and development of the most dominant after pasalkanatal are genetic, environment and family. The purpose of this study is to know the relationship between intelligence quotient with educational stimulation in early childhood. The research design used was correlational with cross sectional approach. The population studied by all families who have preschool children in kindergarten Dharma Wanita Banaran Kediri, with propotional stratified random sampling technique obtained sample amounted to 53 respondents. Data collection using questionnaire, the results were analyzed using spearman test at α = 0,05. The results of the study most of respondents assessed the educational stimulation of children aged within the category enough, ie 28 respondents (52.8%). Nearly the average upper quotient intelligence with 30 respondents (55.6%) The results of the analysis (p = 0,000) indicate that there is an association of early childhood educational stimulation with quotient intelligence in preschoolers. Needs intelligence quotient of stimulation is needed for the child's intellectual development process. The role of the family is to provide facilities for children to facilitate children to go to school in educational facilities that have good quality and provide stimulation independently when the child at home
