Synopsis

Excerpt from The Journal of Educational Psychology, Vol. 12: Devoted Primarily to the Scientific Study of Problems of Learning and Teaching

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between the IQ as a measure of the mental capacity of the individual and the facts of mental development. The IQ was first used as a means of expressing the relative mental ability of individuals as measured by the Binet scale. The first measure which was used with this scale was mental age. This, however, is an absolute and not a rela tive measure. The first relative measure used was the difference between the mental age and the chronological age, which may be called the mental age difference. This expresses the individual's superiority or inferiority in terms of a year's mental growth as a unit. It was soon discovered, however, that this measure, when applied to the Binet scale, would result in an apparent greater retardation or acceleration in the case of older children than in the case of younger ones.
