Students will also be introduced to screening tests for the assessment of achievement, learning disabilities, adaptive behavior, memory and other cognitive functions. Issues and controversies regarding the concept of intelligence and the assessment of cognitive and intellectual functioning, particularly in diverse populations, will be addressed. Finally, the course will address the integration of clinical data and test results into a cogent case presentation and well-written psychological assessment report.

Students will be able to assess the need for and appropriate choice of additional measures to support hypotheses about an individual’s intellectual strengths and weaknesses. In addition, they will learn to write a cogent assessment report and make a well-prepared assessment case presentation to the class.

In selecting subjects, follow the policies stated in the __Guidelines for Recruiting Testing Subjects for CSPP Assessment Courses__, prepared by Gerald Michaels, Ph.D. and dated 4/92 (located near one-stop desk). Each subject must sign two copies of the consent form. The subject keeps one copy and the other is given to me with your assessment. Failure to provide __informed consent__ prior to assessment is considered a serious ethical violation. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; msobidifontsize: 10.0pt; msolist: Ignore;">4)  <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">You must receive clearance from the TA that you are ready before administration of the WAIS-IV to your volunteer subject. This clearance must be received by lab week 4. You must practice the test by yourself, with colleagues, and in lab prior to this clearance. Same expectations for the WISC-IV. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; msobidifontsize: 10.0pt; msolist: Ignore;">5) <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Remove all identifying information prior to submitting test data and history. Disguise identities and places by speaking in general terms like "attends an urban public school" or "lives in Bay Area city" or "mother works in retail sales." <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; msobidifontsize: 10.0pt; msolist: Ignore;">6)  <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">All written reports should be typed, double-spaced, and completed in a professional manner. You are expected to revise and edit your reports if indicated. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; msobidifontsize: 10.0pt; msolist: Ignore;">7) <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Keep a copy of all assignments for your own record, but all record forms turned in are to be publisher's originals (copyright laws prohibit copying of record forms). <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Below is an explanation regarding my expectation about reading: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">First of all, the reading is expected to be done for the Class it is listed. However, some students cannot make use of the reading without first having the instructional information in class. I asked that you each know your own style and follow what works best for you. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Secondly, I asked that you look at the reading to see what is in it, what will be important to read fully, what you need to have as a resource, and otherwise skim through for general orientation. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Finally, it is obvious that the more you are on top of the reading, the more you are able to participate in class discussion and to follow the material that I do cover. Also, I cannot possible cover all the material and the reading fills in many, many gaps. Your ability to integrate this knowledge will be directly reflected in your work (class work, homework, reports, case presentations, etc). <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">
