Development and Validation of the Tablet-Based ERAL Nonverbal Intelligence Test 5-17 (ERAL-NIT)
Open Journal for Educational Research, v8 n1 p1-16 2024
Intelligence has been extensively explored across various disciplines such as psychology, cognitive science, and neurology. Countless scholars have delved into understanding why certain individuals exhibit higher mental acuity and knowledge. Consequently, numerous studies aim to unveil the essence of intelligence and gauge human cognitive capacity. This study introduces and validates the ERAL Nonverbal Intelligence Test (ERAL-NIT) for children aged 5 to 17. Unlike many existing tests, ERAL-NIT is nonverbal, accommodating diverse linguistic backgrounds. Moreover, it incorporates parental assessments, enhancing its holistic approach. Administered via tablet with specialized software, ERAL-NIT provides comprehensive reports to practitioners and families. Its development integrates analyses of hemispheric specialization and executive functions of different brain areas. Content validity is ensured through expert input, while criterion validity is established by comparing results with established assessments and medical diagnoses. ERAL-NIT yields insights into pervasive developmental disorders, specific learning disabilities, attention deficits, and language disorders, thereby enriching diagnostic practices.
