Definition

The Stanford-Binet Test is a cognitive ability and intelligence test that measures fluid reasoning, knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing, and working memory.

Related terms

Fluid Reasoning: This is the capacity to think logically and solve problems in novel situations, independent of acquired knowledge. It's like being dropped into an unfamiliar city and figuring out how to navigate it.

Quantitative Reasoning: This involves understanding basic mathematical concepts and applying them to solve problems. Imagine you're baking a cake but need to adjust the recipe quantities because you have more guests coming over - that's quantitative reasoning at work!

Working Memory: This refers to the system responsible for temporarily holding information available for processing. Consider it as your brain's sticky note pad where it jots down things it needs to remember short-term.
