WAIS-III
See Wechsler
Adult Intelligence Scale, Third Edition.
Weber's
Law
The
amount of change necessary to detect a different
in a stimuli must be staged in a percentage since
recognition of the change is relative to the
characteristics of the initial stimulus (e.g., a
one pound change in the weight of a pencil would
be more easily recognized than a one pound weight
added to a 300 pound barbell because it represents
a much greater percentage of the total weight).
Wechsler
Adult Intelligence Scale, Third Edition
An objective measure of intelligence.
The Stanford-Binet test is also used, has very
similar validity, but is not as popular.
