To apply this approach, it is necessary to construct measurements in a constant unit over the relevant range of the variable. With such measurements, the book illustrates the approach to quantifying growth on six intellectual variables - two intelligences tests and two each of tests of proficiencies in reading comprehension and mathematics. The book discusses how it is not immediately obvious that deceleration on a quantitative scale should also hold for the growth in intellectual variables. It goes on to show that this is indeed the case with all six tests analysed and considers some implications of this feature for understanding intellectual development, in particular the centrality of the growth trajectory set in early life. .Educational tests and measurementsLearning, Psychology ofEducational psychologyMathematicsStudy and teachingAssessment and TestingInstructional TheoryEducational PsychologyMathematics EducationEducational tests and measurements.Learning, Psychology of.Educational psychology.MathematicsStudy and teaching.Assessment and Testing.Instructional Theory.Educational Psychology.Mathematics Education.371.26Andrich David103413Marais Ida1428020Sappl Sonia1428021MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910746088203321Rasch Meta-Metres of Growth for Some Intelligence and Attainment Tests3563113UNINA
