Introduction:
Intelligence tests have been used to measure intelligence since the twentieth century. These have also been controversial and misused at times. Measurement of intelligence through some kind of test is not an ancient concept. This concept is less than a century old. It originally started when France realized that some students needed more time to learn and understand than others did.

Answer to Problem 10TY
Correct answer:
Binet’s mental ability test was the first to measure intelligence. Therefore, option d. is correct.
Option d. is given as “Binet’s mental ability test”.
Explanation of Solution
Reasons for the correct statement:
Alfred Binet was a French psychologist who was asked by the French Ministry of Education to develop a formal intelligence test to identify students that needed more help with their studies. Binet’s mental ability test was able to identify the fast and slow learners among students.
Hence, option d. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “The Wechsler tests”.
This test came after Binet’s mental ability test. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option b. is given as “The Stanford Binet”.
This test was developed after Binet’s mental ability test. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option c. is given as “The ACT”.
This is a test that is used by many colleges for admissions. It was developed much later Binet’s mental ability test. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options a., b., and. are incorrect.
Binet’s mental ability test was the first test to measure intelligence. It was developed by Alfred Binet, a French psychologist.

You have been asked to help the staff at a Jiffy Lube to reduce frequency of errors and complaints with oil changes. You determine that the staff there aren’t entirely clear on all of the steps that go into changing oil, or the correct order in which to do them. So, you write a task analysis for changing oil. Step by step, you list, in order of implementation, the pinpointed movements a staff member must do to change the oil in a car or truck. Errors are reduced, but not greatly. (For example, sometimes the oil is overfilled and sometimes underfilled; sometimes the oil pan plug is too loose, and the oil pan drips oil; and sometimes it’s too tight, and the threads are stripped.) You have specified a bunch of antecedent conditions in your task analysis. With regard to the content of Chapter 4 – behavior is a function of its…arrow_forward
