Leiter International Performance Scale TASK
Unreviewed

The Leiter International Performance Scale is an intelligence test for children ages 2 to 18 in the form of a strict performance scale. The test purports to "provide a nonverbal measure of general intelligence by sampling a wide variety of functions from memory to nonverbal reasoning." Because of the exclusion of language, it claims to be more accurate than other tests when testing children who cannot or will not provide a verbal response, including children who are non native speaking, or have autism, traumatic brain injury, speech impairment, and hearing problems.

Scales and subscales include:

Reasoning:

Classification
Sequential order
Repeated patterns
Design analogies

Visualization:

Matching
Figure-ground
Paper folding
Figure rotation
Picture context
Form completion

Memory:

Memory span (Forward)
Memory span (Backward)
Immediate recognition
Delayed recognition
Associative memory
Associative delayed memory
Spatial memory
Visual coding

Attention:
Attention sustained (marking one kind of figures printed on a page with several different figures)
Attention divided (observing a display and simultaneously sorting cards correctly)

In the Cognitive Atlas, we define a contrast as any function over experimental conditions. The simplest contrast is the indicator value for a specific condition; more complex contrasts include linear or nonlinear functions of the indicator across different experimental conditions.

INDICATORS

No indicators have yet been associated.

An indicator is a specific quantitative or qualitative variable that is recorded for analysis. These may include behavioral variables (such as response time, accuracy, or other measures of performance) or physiological variables (including genetics, psychophysiology, or brain imaging data).
