IAP Applied Psychometrics 101 Brief Report # 11: What is the typical IQ and adaptive behavior correlation?
Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
What is the typical relation (correlation) between standardized measures of adaptive behavior (AB) and measures of intelligence (IQ)? This is an important question given the role both play in the definition diagnosis of mental retardation (MR) / intellectual disability (ID). During the late 1970's and 1980's this was an active area of research. Numerous studies were published that reported correlations between a wide variety of adaptive behavior scales and intelligence tests. Probably the best synthesis of this research was provided by Harrison (1987). Harrison's review included a table ...

U snooze and you lose. I had received an advanced copy of Sebastian Seung's Connectome and had hoped to make one of the first book review posts about it. I simply could not find time to read it fast enough and the professionals have already weighed in on the book...so you might as well read their reviews. I have a few minor comments.I agree with the review in the Wall Street Journal review that this may be one of the best written books on the basics of brain science. Keeping up with contemporary neuroscience and placing it in the context of what I learned during my training and professional experiences has been hard. As I ...

The keynote lecture at this Winter Conference on Animal Learning and Behavior was presented by Herb Terrace who started a research project on the chimpanzee Nim Chimpsky in 1972. You can watch the HBO/BBC documentary on Project Nim, which focuses on the ethical issues and the narrative story of Nim's life. Nim's name is a pun on eminent linguist Noam Chomsky, who criticized the book "Verbal Behavior" of Terrace's thesis advisor BF Skinner in a scathing review. Skinner had claimed that language was acquired through a process of operant conditioning, while Chomsky found that the parallels between operant conditionin...

We are the architects and builders of our own brains.
For millennia, however, we were oblivious to our enormous creative capabilities. We had no idea that our brains were changing in response to our actions and attitudes, every day of our lives. So we unconsciously and randomly shaped our brains and our latter years because we believed we had an immutable brain that was at the mercy of our genes.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
