Meera, a counsellor in Pune, runs a workshop on intelligence. Her first speaker presents a model that sorts intellectual traits along three dimensions: operations, contents and products. Meera then describes Kavya. Kavya breaks a hard physics problem into parts, checks each part critically and tops her school tests. Before starting, Kavya decides what to do and how to do it. Next, Ananya sets goals and a time schedule before a class test, and changes her plan when a chapter proves too hard. Meera also plans to test Rohan, a 12-year-old with learning problems, on a battery of verbal and non-verbal tasks devised by Das and Naglieri. Finally, she tests an 8-year-old boy whose mental age comes out as 10.
For which age group is the battery of tests that Meera plans to use for Rohan meant?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Between 5 and 18 years of age
The battery of Das and Naglieri is the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS), meant for individuals between 5 and 18 years of age; its results help remedy cognitive deficits of children with learning problems, like Rohan.
