GIFTED LEARNER
- 1. Definition: Individual differences are the variations from one person to another on variables such as self-esteem, rate of cognitive development or degree of agreeableness. Historically, psychological science has overlooked individual differences in favor of focusing on average behavior. Gifted learner

- 3. Intelliegnece quotient(IQ) Terman was the first to suggest the term intelliegence quotient. Intelligence quotient is the ratio between Mental Age(MA) and chronological Age(CA) and Multiplied by 100. MentalAge IQ = 100 Chronological Age
- 4. IQ Verbal Description • 140 and above • 120-139 • 110-119 • 90-109 • 80-89 • 70-79 • 69 and below • Very superior • Superior • Above average • Average • Below Average • Borderline • Mentally Retarded
- 6. Calculation of IQ Amala paul and vijay both score an mentalAge(MA) of 5 years on an intelligence test.but amala Paul is only 4 years old, and vijay is 5 year old. Find the IQ? Who is brighter, Amala Paul or Vijay
- 7. Measuring Intelligence • IQ- Intelligence Quotient. This is usually expressed as a standard score with a mean of 100 ± 15 (85-115). Terry Overton Assessing Learners with Special Needs, 5e Copyright ©2006 by Pearson Education, Inc. Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 All rights reserved.
- 8. Binet Intelligence Tests Mental Age Intelligence Quotient (IQ) Normal Distribution • An individual’s level of mental development relative to others • A symmetrical distribution • Majority of the scores falling in the middle • Few scores in the extremes 4.8 MentalAge IQ = 100 Chronological Age
- 9. Gifted learner • “ wittty(1951) Defined a gifted peroson as • “ one whose performance is consistently remarkable in any potential valuable area” • Those who possess a superior nervous system characterized by the potential to perform task requiring a comparatively high degree of intellectual observation or creative imagination
