CHC theory and the Wechsler IQ scales and test development

In 1998 Dr. Dawn Flanagan and I published the Intelligence Test Desk Reference book which was the first thorough treatment of CHC theory (then called Extended Gf-Gc theory). This book is now out-of-print.


We then took the concepts from the ITDR and, together with Dr. Sam Ortiz, presented a cross-battery approach to interpreting the Wechsler batteries.


And again, this book is no longer in print. This also means we no longer receive any $ for sales (conflict of interest disclosure).


The research, theory, and conceptual material in the second book is nearly identical to the first, but it was presented in the context of how to upgrade interpretation and understanding of the Wechsler batteries according to the CHC framework. Since then the same CHC overview material has been tweaked and updated in a series of CHC cross-battery books by Flanagan et al. But, the foundation of CHC theory, and how it can be integrated within a conceptual framework of test development and interpretation, is largely the same in these newer CHC cross-battery books.

Thus, given that these "mother and father" books are no longer in print, I took the liberty of copying the first three chapters of the Wechsler oriented book and am now making them available for my readers (click here). I make this material available to provide psychologists who have not done much reading regarding CHC theory an opportunity to have access to the basic foundation of CHC theory to help them see how it can be applied to the interpretation of an intelligence battery (in this case the Wechslers). By choosing the Wechsler material this also helps understand how the Wechsler batteries are evolving (either implicitly or explicitly--see Keith and Reynolds, 2010) when viewed from the lens of CHC theory.

But, one must recognize that this material is a bit dated. An update of CHC theory was later published in 2005 (click here to access...plus some other chapters), and was again updated this year by Schneider and McGrew (click here).

However, the CHC chapter I provide in this blog post, particularly when placed in the context of the Wechsler batteries, provides a solid foundation for understanding CHC theory and its impact on contemporary intelligence test development and interpretation. My goal is to increase awareness of CHC theory and its relevance to psychological assessment and interpretation. My goal is to spur others to become more current re: this now dominant framework in the field of applied IQ testing.

Birmingham Cognitive Screen: A new cognitive screen for brain-damaged patients

Not an endorsement of any kind.  Have never seen or used it.  Just an FYI

New in Neuropsychology

Birmingham Cognitive Screen By Glyn W. Humphreys, Wai-Ling Bickerton, Dana Samson, M. Jane Riddoch Following different kinds of brain damage, including stroke, head injury, carbon monoxide poisoning, and degenerative change, people can experience a range of cognitive problems, in addition to any difficulties in motor function. These problems strongly influence a patient's ability to recover, but often patients are not routinely screened to detect them. Birmingham Cognitive Screen (BCoS) is a new test instrument. Developed to screen patients for cognitive problems, it provides a novel 'cognitive profile' across a range of cognitive processes within a one-hour testing session that will indicate whether a patient has a clinical impairment (related to norms) in five primary domains of cognition: Attention and executive function Language Memory Number skills Praxis and action BCoS has been validated against 'standard' neuropsychological tests used to measure similar cognitive functions. It has also been used for prognostic modelling, and assessed against measures of cognition and activities of everyday living for patients in the chronic stage. The first test of its kind, BCoS is an invaluable tool for neuropsychologists, neuropsychiatrists, occupational and speech therapists, and a wide range of other clinical practitioners. Read More BCoS is supported by The Stroke Association Praise for BCoS "This is an important collection of stroke-appropriate cognitive testing materials and represents state-of-the-art cognitive neuropsychological theory put to clinical use. BCoS will be especially valuable in helping patients and family members understand the consequences of a stroke, it will foster communication about cognitive difficulties with the patient's carers, and will support the identification of rehabilitation strategies." - Andrew Bateman, of the Oliver Zangwill Centre for Neuropsychological Rehabilitation To Be Published March 30th 2012 by Psychology Press MPack: 978-1-84872-099-2: $450.00 – £250.00 News and updates on Twitter, Facebook & Google+ Follow us on Twitter, Like us on Facebook, and Circle us on Google+ to keep up-to-date on psychology news, free sample chapters and journal articles, and much more.
