Phase 38 Neuropsychological Testing Session: Session I

Interviewer Introduction

I'll be asking you to try a lot of different questions, puzzles, and brain teasers.

We gave you these exact same tests when you were 13 years old, so you might recognize some of them. But that was 25 years ago!

The reason for these tests is that we want to see how much study members have changed on their mental performance after 25 years of life experience.

Phase 38: Impairment Questions

Phase 38 Neuropsychological Testing Session: Interviewer Introduction (Continued)

Each task asks you to do something different, because everybody has things they do well and things they don't do so well, and we want everyone to have a chance to succeed and have fun.

Each task will only last about 3 minutes, so if you don't enjoy a task, don't worry, we will be switching to a different task in a minute.

Each task starts out easy and gets harder, and the questions go all the way up to the genius level, so don't be surprised when you get some wrong.

It is important to do the very best you can.

So sit back and relax, so you can concentrate as well as possible.

Ready for the first test?

PHASE 38: BLOCK DESIGN INTRODUCTION

We want to see how well you can re-create a design that is shown to you using blocks within a specified time limit. Materials: Stimulus Book 1 Block Design Blocks Stopwatch Show: Block Design Blocks. The stimulus book should be placed at the SM’s midline, approximately 18cm from the edge of the table. The blocks should be placed to the side of the stimulus book on the side of the SM’s dominant hand. Present only the blocks needed to construct each item. Remove all unnecessary blocks from the SM’s view. Record the completion time in seconds for each item. Items completed after the time limit are scored 0 points.

Scoring: Items 5-8: Score 4 points if the SM constructs the design correctly, w/o rotation errors, & w/in time limit. Items 9-14: Score 4, 5, 6, or 7 points if the SM constructs the design correctly, w/o rotation errors, & w/in the time limit. Refer to Record Form for time-bonus scores. *For all items, score 0 points if the SM does not construct the design correctly, has rotation errors, or exceeds the time limit

Place two blocks in front of the study member. Pick up one block. See these blocks? They are all alike. On some sides, they are all red (show red side); On some sides, all white (show white side); And on some sides, they are half red and half white (show red/white side). What hand do you use to write? SAMPLE QUESTION Place two blocks in front of the SM. Watch me put these blocks together to look like this picture. Point to pictured design. Slowly assemble the model. Place two more blocks in front of the SM. Now you try it. Discontinue: After 2 consecutive scores of 0 Design Time Score Limit (4 blocks) BD3 Turn to Item 3 30” 0 2 in Stimulus Book & Refer to Model _______ Now well’ use 4 blocks. You need to make the blocks look just like the picture. Work as fast as you can and tell me when you are finished. Go ahead. Begin timing and allow 30 seconds.

BD5 Turn to Item 5 1 Minute 0 4 in Stimulus Book _______ You need to make the blocks look just like the picture. Work as fast as you can and tell me when you are finished. Go ahead. Begin timing and allow 1 minute.

BD7 Turn to Item 7 1 Minute 0 4 in Stimulus Book _______ Remember that you need to make the blocks look just like the picture. Go ahead. Begin timing and allow 1 minute.


Discontinue: After 2 consecutive scores of 0 31-60 21-30 11-20 1-10 BD9 Turn to Item 9 1 Minute 0 4 5 6 7 in Stimulus Book _______ Work as fast as you can and tell me when you are finished. Go ahead. Begin timing and allow 1 minute. 76-120 61-75 31-60 1-30 (9 Blocks)

BD11 Turn to Item 11 2 Minutes 0 4 5 6 7 in Stimulus Book ________ Now we’ll use 9 blocks. Work as fast as you can and tell me when you are finished. Go ahead. Begin timing and allow 2 minutes. 76-120 61-75 31-60 1-30

BD13 Turn to Item 13 2 Minutes 0 4 5 6 7 in Stimulus Book ________ You need to make the blocks look just like the picture. Begin timing and allow 2 minutes. Ok, great job! Now we will be moving on to the next set of questions.

PHASE 38: VERBAL PAIRED ASSOCIATES I INTRODUCTION

Now I am going to see how well you can memorize words. Read the word pairs at the rate of one pair of words every 3 seconds. Say the words about 1 second apart, with 2 seconds separating the pairs. Pause 5 seconds after reading each list and before asking for recall. During recall, if the SM does not respond within 5 seconds or if the SM gives an incorrect response, provide the correct response. If the SM begins to repeat the word pairs as you are reading, stop and instruct him or her to wait until you are finished.

Scoring: 1 point - If SM gives a correct response 0 points - If examinee gives an incorrect response or says that he/she does not know the answer, or does not respond within 5 seconds

Page 2 of 5 Source: WMS-III 1997

I am going to say a list of word pairs. Listen carefully because when I am finished I will say the first word, and I want you to tell me the word that goes with it. For example, if the word pairs were Fruit-West, Gold-Walk, then when I say the word Fruit, you would answer (pause) West. When I say the word Gold, you would answer (pause) Walk. Do you understand? List A Truck-Arrow Insect-Acorn Reptile- Clown Bank-Cartoon Star-Ladder Badger-Paper Rose-Bag Elephant-Glass Can you tell me what word goes with... SM Answer PAIA-1 Bank (Cartoon) ____________________ 0 1 PAIA-2 Reptile (Clown) ____________________ 0 1 PAIA-3 Star (Ladder) ___________________ 0 1 PAIA-4 Rose (Bag) ___________________ 0 1 PAIA-5 Elephant (Glass) ____________________ 0 1 PAIA-6 Truck (Arrow) ____________________ 0 1 PAIA-7 Insect (Acorn) ____________________ 0 1 PAIA-8 Badger (Paper) ___________________ 0 1

Incorrect Correct (0) (1)


I am now going to read you our next list of word pairs. The word pairs are the same but listed in a different order. Remember to listen carefully because when I am finished I will say the first word, and I want you to tell me the word that goes with it. List B Star-Ladder Elephant-Glass Insect-Acorn Truck-Arrow Reptile- Clown Bank-Cartoon Badger-Paper Rose-Bag What word goes with... SM Answer PAIB-1 Elephant (Glass) ____________________ 0 1 PAIB-2 Insect (Acorn) ____________________ 0 1 PAIB-3 Reptile (Clown) ___________________ 0 1 PAIB-4 Rose (Bag) ___________________ 0 1 PAIB-5 Star (Ladder) ____________________ 0 1 PAIB-6 Badger (Paper) ____________________ 0 1 PAIB-7 Bank (Cartoon) ____________________ 0 1 PAIB-8 Truck (Arrow) ____________________ 0 1



We are moving on to the next list. Once again, the word pairs are the same but the order in which they are being read is different. After I have finished reading this list, when I say the first word, I want you to tell me the word that goes with it. List C Rose- Bag Badger-Paper Star-Ladder Reptile- Clown Elephant-Glass Insect-Acorn Bank-Cartoon Truck-Arrow

What word goes with... SM Answer PAIC-1 Insect (Acorn) ____________________ 0 1 PAIC-2 Star (Ladder) ____________________ 0 1 PAIC-3 Truck (Arrow) ____________________ 0 1 PAIC-4 Rose (Bag) ____________________ 0 1 PAIC-5 Elephant (Glass) ____________________ 0 1 PAIC-6 Reptile (Clown) ____________________ 0 1 PAIC-7 Bank (Cartoon) ____________________ 0 1 PAIC-8 Badger (Paper) ____________________ 0 1



OK, great job so far! We are on our last word pair list. Ready? List D Badger-Paper Truck-Arrow Star-Ladder Insect-Acorn Rose-Bag Reptile- Clown Bank-Cartoon Elephant-Glass What word goes with... SM Answer

PAID-1 Star (Ladder) ____________________ 0 1 PAID-2 Rose (Bag) ____________________ 0 1 PAID-3 Insect (Acorn) ____________________ 0 1 PAID-4 Badger (Paper) ___________________ 0 1 PAID-5 Elephant (Glass) ____________________ 0 1 PAID-6 Bank (Cartoon) ____________________ 0 1 PAID-7 Reptile (Clown) ____________________ 0 1 PAID-8 Truck (Arrow) ____________________ 0 1 Ok, great job! Now we will be moving on to the next set of questions.


PHASE 38: SYMBOL SEARCH INTRODUCTION

Next I will ask you to look for matching symbols. Materials: Response Booklet 1 #2 Pencil without eraser Stopwatch Coding Scoring Template Ensure a smooth work surface. Use the demonstration items to explain and illustrate the task to the SM, then allow the SM to practice by completing the sample items If the SM marks a symbol using anything other than a slash mark, point to the error and say, Draw ONE line through the symbols or NO boxes that you mark. Do not provide the SM with an eraser. If a mistake is made, say, That’s OK. Just keep working as fast as you can. If the SM marks one of the target symbols as a response, say, You should make your marks over here (point across search group and NO box). If SM omits an item or begins to complete a page in reverse order, say, Do them in order. Don’t skip any. Point to the first omitted item and say, Do this one next. Scoring: Use the Coding Scoring Template to score the SM’s

responses. Align the template so that the correct responses are above the SM’s responses. -If SM completes all test items before the 2 minute time limit expires, stop timing and record the completion time. Score 1 point for each correct response. -If the SM does not complete all of the test items within the time limit, record the completion time as 2 minutes.

Page 1 of 4

Place the Response Booklet in front of SM. Make sure that the SM sees only the Demonstration and Sample Items. DEMONSTRATION ITEMS

Look at these shapes. Point across first Demonstration Item.

One of these shapes (point to each target symbol in the grey area) is the same as one of these shapes here (point across search group).

This shape (point to target symbol in the grey area) is the same as this

shape here (point to matching symbol in search group), so I draw a line through it, like this (draw a diagonal line through matching symbol in search group).

Point across the second demonstration item.

Look at these shapes.

This shape (point to target symbol in the grey area) is the same as this shape here (point to matching symbol in search group), so I draw a line through it, like this (draw a diagonal line through matching symbol in search group).

If you see a shape over here (point across search group for the second

demonstration item) that is the same as one of these shapes (point to each target symbol of second demonstration item), draw a line through the shape (point to marked symbol for second demonstration item).

Point across the third demonstration item.

Now look at these shapes.

In this case, neither one of these shapes here (point to each target symbol in the grey area) is the same as any of the shapes here (point across search group), so I draw a line through the NO box, like this (draw a diagonal line through NO box).

If you do not see a shape over here (point across search group for the

third demonstration item) that is the same as one of these shapes (point to each target symbol of third demonstration item), draw a line through the NO box (point to the marked NO box for third demonstration item).


SAMPLE ITEMS Hand the SM a #2 pencil without an eraser and point to Sample Items.

Now you do these here. Go ahead. CORRECT RESPONSE: That’s right. Now you know how to do them. INCORRECT RESPONSE: If the SM does not mark the matching symbol on the first and third sample items, say, That’s not quite right.

Look here (point to target symbols). Here are the shapes. Now look over here (point across search group). Here is the same shape (point to matching symbol), so you should draw a line through it.

If SM does not mark the NO box on the second sample item, say, That’s not quite right.

Look here (point to both target symbols). Here are the shapes. Now look over here (point across search group). None of these shapes are the same, so you should draw a line through the NO box.

TEST ITEMS Open the Response Booklet to expose pages 2 and 3.

When I say go, do these the same way.

Start here (point to first Test Item on page 2), go in order, and don’t skip any.

Work as fast as you can without making mistakes until I tell you to

stop. You will have 2 minutes to get as many completed as possible.

When you finish the first page, go to the second page (point to page 3) and the following pages (briefly show SM pages 4-7). Are you ready?



Remove Response Booklet and pencil from the SM’s view before proceeding to the next subtest. Discontinue: After 2 minutes

PHASE 38: DIGIT SPAN INTRODUCTION

Now, I will test your memory. Read each trial verbatim at the rate of one digit per second, dropping your voice slightly on the last digit in the sequence. Pause to allow the SM to respond. Do not repeat any trial. If the SM asks you to repeat a trial say, I cannot repeat the sequence. Just take your best guess.

Scoring: 2 point – SM gives correct response 0 points – SM gives an incorrect response, says that he or she does not know the answer, or does not respond


I am going to say some numbers. Listen carefully, I can only say them one time. When I am through, I want you to say them back to me in the same order. Just say what I say. Discontinue: After 2 consecutive scores of 0. FORWARD Item Trial Item Score DSF_1 9 – 7 0 2 DSF_2 5 - 8 – 2 0 2 DSF_3 7 – 2 – 8 – 6 0 2 DSF_4 4 – 2 – 7 – 3 – 1 0 2 DSF_5 3 – 9 – 2 - 4 - 8 – 7 0 2 DSF_6 4 – 1 – 7 – 9 – 3 – 8 – 6 0 2 DSF_7 3 – 8 – 2 – 9 – 6 – 1 – 7 – 4 0 2 DSF_8 2 – 7 – 5 – 8 – 6 – 3 – 1 – 9 – 4 0 2


Now, I am going to say some more numbers. This time when I stop, I want you to say the numbers backward. If I say 7-1, what would you say? CORRECT RESPONSE (1-7): That’s right. INCORRECT RESPONSE: That’s not quite right. I said 7-1, so to say them backward, you should say 1-7. Let’s try some more. Remember to say them backwards. Discontinue: After 2 consecutive scores of 0. BACKWARD Item Trial Correct Response Item Score DSB_1 3 – 1 1 – 3 0 2 DSB_2 4 – 6 6 – 4 0 2 DSB_3 6 - 2 – 9 9 – 2 – 6 0 2 DSB_4 8 – 2 – 7 – 9 9 – 7 – 2 – 8 0 2 DSB_5 6 – 5 – 8 – 4 – 3 3 – 4 – 8 – 5 – 6 0 2 DSB_6 5 – 3 – 7 – 4 – 1 – 8 8 – 1 – 4 – 7 – 3 – 5 0 2 DSB_7 8 – 1 – 4 – 9 – 3 – 6 – 2 2 – 6 – 3 – 9 – 4 – 1 – 8 0 2 DSB_8 9 – 4 – 3 – 7 – 6 – 2 – 1 – 8 8 – 1 – 2 – 6 – 7 – 3 – 4 – 9 0 2


I am going to say some more numbers. After I say them, I want you to say the numbers in order, starting with the lowest number. Some numbers may be repeated so please say all of the numbers you hear. If I say 2-3-3-1, what would you say? CORRECT RESPONSE (1-2-3-3): That’s right. INCORRECT RESPONSE: That’s not quite right. I said 2-3-3-1, so to say them in order from lowest to highest, you should say 1-2-3-3. Let’s try some more. Remember to say them in order. Discontinue: After 2 consecutive scores of 0.

PHASE 38: DIGIT SYMBOL CODING INTRODUCTION

Now, I will test how quickly you can work. Materials: Response Booklet 1 #2 Pencil without eraser Stopwatch Coding Scoring Template Ensure a smooth work surface. Use the demonstration items to explain and illustrate the task to the SM, then allow the SM to practice by completing the sample items Do not provide SM with an eraser. If SM asks what to do if a mistake is made, say, That’s OK. Just keep working as fast as you can.

Scoring: Use the Coding Scoring Template to score the SM’s responses. Align the template so that the correct responses are above the SM’s responses. -If SM completes all test items before the 2 minute time limit expires, stop timing and record the completion time in seconds. Score 1 point for each correct response. -If the SM does not complete all of the test items within the time limit, record the completion time as 2 minutes.


The Coding subtest is on the back of Response Booklet 1. Turn the Response Booklet over so the Coding subtest is visible and place it in front of the SM. Ensure that the SM sees only Coding. DEMONSTRATION ITEMS Point to the key at the top of the page.

• Look at these boxes. Each box has a number in the top part (point across the numbers from 1 to 9) and a special mark in the bottom part (point across the symbols).

• Each number has its own mark (point to 1 and its symbol, then to 2

and its symbol). Point to the demonstration items

• Down here, the boxes have numbers in the top parts but are empty in the bottom parts.

• You are to draw the marks that belong in the empty boxes.

Point to the first demonstration item (6)

• Here is a 6. The 6 has this mark (point to the key to show its corresponding symbol), so I draw that mark in the box, like this (write the symbol).

Point to the second demonstration item (8)

• Here is an 8. The 8 has this mark (point to the key to show its corresponding symbol), so I draw that mark in the box (write the symbol).

Point to the third demonstration item (3)

• Here is a 3. The 3 has this mark (point to the key to show its corresponding symbol), so I draw that mark in the box (write the symbol).

Proceed to Sample Items.


SAMPLE ITEMS Hand the SM a #2 pencil without an eraser.

• Now you do these (point to the sample items).

• Stop when you get to this line (point to the heavy line that separates the sample items from the test items).

Allow the SM to work alone on the remaining sample items. If the SM completes the sample items correctly, say, Right. Now you know how to do them. If the SM makes a mistake on a sample item, correct the error immediately. Continue to help the SM, if necessary, until the SM correctly completes the sample items. Use explanations such as, You see, this is a 9. The 9 has this mark, so I draw that mark in the box (write the symbol). Do not proceed with the test items until the SM understands the task. If it is clear that the SM will not be able to understand the task with further instruction, discontinue the subtest. When the SM has successfully completed the sample items, proceed to test items


TEST ITEM

• When I say go, do these the same way.

• Start here (point to the first test item), go in order, and don’t skip any.

• Work as fast as you can without making mistakes until

I tell you to stop.

• Are you ready? If the SM is still working at 2 minutes, stop timing and say, Stop. Record the completion time as 2 minutes. Remove the Response Booklet and pencil from the SM view before proceeding to the next subtest. Discontinue: After 2 minutes.

PHASE 38: GROOVED PEGBOARD TEST INTRODUCTION We are looking at your hand-eye coordination, how fast is it? This activity was also given to you when you were 13 years old, and again, we are interested in knowing how people learn and change as they grow older.

Place the pegboard mid-line with the subject so that the board is at the edge of the table and peg tray immediately above the board. Do not tilt pegboard or let SM move pegboard in any direction.

Scoring: Record, in seconds, the length of time required to perform each trial beginning when the SM starts the task until the last peg is put in, or the test is discontinued, after 5 minutes.

Page 2 of 2

(Pick up peg to show SM.) All of these pegs have a round side and a square side and so do the holes in the boards. Match the groove of the peg with the groove of the board and put these pegs into the holes like this. (Demonstrate on the top row, work from SM’s left to SM’s right. Remove the pegs, putting them back into the tray.) Which hand do you use to write? Use that hand first. Put the other hand behind you or in your lap. Fill the top row completely from this side (SM’s left) to this side (SM’s right). Then go down to the next row. Do not skip any holes. If you drop a peg, don’t pick it up, just take another one from the tray. When I say go, start here and put the pegs into the board as fast as you can. Any questions? Ready, as fast as you can, Go!

PHASE 38: BRIEF SMELL IDENTIFICATION TEST

INTRODUCTION Now, we are looking at your ability to identify different common smells. Materials: B-SIT booklet Ask SM to scratch and sniff all twelve odors in the B-SIT booklet. They must indicate verbally the answer that best matches each smell. If SM is unsure, say, Though you may be unsure, make your best guess. Circle SM’s answer. Allow SM to keep their B-SIT booklet as a gift.

Record all responses Scoring: 1point- SM gives correct response 0 point- SM gives incorrect response

Page 2 of 2

Place B-SIT booklet on table in front of SM and open to the first page.

Here we have a brown strip with a particular smell (point to brown strip at the bottom right of booklet page) and here we have the possible answers for identifying the smell, (point to the four possible answers on the right side of the booklet page).

Watch how I use this pencil to make a few scratches across the strip. (scratch the strip with pencil to demonstrate) This releases the smell. Lift the booklet to your nose to sniff the strip (have SM smell strip). Then tell me which of these answers you think the strip smells most like.

You will do this one first (point to first page) and then complete the rest of the booklet in the same way. Please tell me each answer as you go. If you are unsure about a smell, just make your best guess.

Place the closed booklet and pencil in front of SM to begin.

PHASE 38: SIMILARITIES INTRODUCTION

We are looking at how well you can take two words that represent common ideas and describe how they are similar. Read each item verbatim to the examinee. Each item may be repeated AS OFTEN AS NECESSARY, but do not alter the wording in any way. If the examinee’s response is unclear or too vague to be readily scored or is followed by a (Q) in the sample response, say, What do you mean? or Tell me more about it.

All responses are written verbatim. Scoring: 2 points – Any major classification that is pertinent for both members of the item pair 1 point – Any specific property that constitutes a minor or less pertinent similarity; any major classification that is less pertinent for both members of the item pair 0 points – Any property that is not pertinent to both members of the item pair, is too general in nature, or describes differences between members of the item pair; any clearly incorrect answer


I’m going to say two words and ask you how they are alike. To the best of your ability, please respond with clear and complete responses. Discontinue: After 3 consecutive scores of 0 SAMPLE QUESTION

In what way are TWO and SEVEN alike? How are they the same? ___________________________________________________________ CORRECT RESPONSE: Any response with the word numbers. That’s right. TWO and SEVEN are both numbers. INCORRECT RESPONSE: Any response without the word numbers, a clearly incorrect response, or no response. TWO and SEVEN are both numbers. Let’s try another one. Proceed to the next question.

Sim4 In what way are a HORSE and a TIGER alike? 0 1 2 __________________________________________________ (2 points: Animals, mammals, quadrupeds, members of animal kingdom) (1 point: Both have four legs and a tail (Q), both can be tamed, can be pets) (0 points: You see them at the zoo/circus, used for hunting, tigers eat horses, both have a mane)

Sim6 In what way are a BOAT and a CAR alike? 0 1 2 __________________________________________________ (2 points: Vehicles, way of getting from one place to another, means/form of transportation) (1 point: Ride in both (Q), both move (Q), carry people/things(Q), both used for pleasure or recreation) (0 points: Both mechanical (Q), both have motors/engines/seats/steering wheel (Q), they’re expensive Run on/require gas/fuel(Q))

PHASE 38: VERBAL PAIRED ASSOCIATES II INTRODUCTION

Administer 25-30 minutes after Verbal Paired Associates I. Allow approximately 10 seconds for the SM to respond. Do not tell the SM if his or her response is correct or incorrect.

Scoring: 1 point – When the SM gives a correct response 0 points - If examinee gives an incorrect response or says that he/she does not know the answer


RECALL Remember the word pairs that you learned earlier? I told you a word and gave you another word that went with it. I want you to recall as many of those word pairs as you can remember, one more time. I will say the first word of the pair, and you say the word that goes with it. Ready? Present the Recall section as follows: Which word goes with ______________?

PHASE 38: PICTURE COMPLETION INTRODUCTION

Next I will ask you to look at some pictures and tell me what is missing. Materials: Stimulus Book 2 Stopwatch If the SM gives a verbal response that is ambiguous or incomplete, ask him or her to provide a pointing response by saying, Show me where you mean. Provide this prompt AS OFTEN AS NECESSARY. If the SM does not respond to an item within 20 seconds or if the SM responds incorrectly in less than 20 seconds, proceed to the next appropriate item if the discontinue criterion has not been met. Corrective feedback may be given if SM has given an incorrect answer or time limit is reached. You may say, Though that may seem like what is missing in the picture, it is not, would you like to keep looking or move on to the next picture?”. If they say move on to the next picture, mark the answer as a 0. If they use up the rest of their time trying to find what is missing and time runs out, mark it as a 0 and tell them, “You showed good effort but your time is up and we need to move on to the next picture”.

Scoring: Record the completion time in seconds. -Score 1 point if the SM correctly identifies the missing part within 20 seconds. -Score 0 points if the SM responds incorrectly, says that he or she does not know the answer, or does not respond within 20 seconds.


Place the Stimulus Book 2 in front of the SM. SAMPLE ITEM I am going to show you some pictures. There is a part missing in each picture. Look at each picture carefully and tell me what is missing. Open the Stimulus Book 2 to Sample Item and say, Look at this picture. You will have 20 seconds to tell me what is missing. Don’t worry if you cannot find what is missing. We will simply move on to the next one. Begin timing and allow 20 seconds. CORRECT RESPONSE (Tooth; Bristle; Prong; Tine): Point to the place where the tooth is missing and say, That’s right, the (insert SM’s response) is missing. INCORRECT RESPONSE: Point to the place where the tooth is missing and say, You see, the tooth is missing. The time limit for each item is 20 seconds Discontinue: After 4 consecutive scores of 0 Item Verbal Sample Score Response Responses PC4.

Phase 38 Neuropsychological Testing Session: Session II

Interviewer Introduction

I'll be asking you to try a lot of different questions, puzzles, and brain teasers.

We gave you these exact same tests when you were 13 years old, so you might recognize some of them. But that was 25 years ago!

The reason for these tests is that we want to see how much study members have changed on their mental performance after 25 years of life experience.

Phase 38: Impairment Questions

Phase 38 Neuropsychological Testing Session: Interviewer Introduction (Continued)

Each task asks you to do something different, because everybody has things they do well and things they don't do so well, and we want everyone to have a chance to succeed and have fun.

Each task will only last about 3 minutes, so if you don't enjoy a task, don't worry, we will be switching to a different task in a minute.

Each task starts out easy and gets harder, and the questions go all the way up to the genius level, so don't be surprised when you get some wrong.

It is important to do the very best you can.

So sit back and relax, so you can concentrate as well as possible.

Ready for the first test?

Page 1 of 4

PHASE 38: MATRIX REASONING INTRODUCTION

Now I am going to ask you to look at some patterns. Materials: Stimulus Book 1 Go through both Sample A and Sample B. Make sure SM understands what needs to be done. Choice must be indicated either by pointing to or saying the number of the selected response option. If the SM responds with any other type of verbalization, say, Show me. If there is no response in approximately 30 seconds, prompt by saying, Do you have an answer? Adjust the timing of this prompt and/or grant additional time if a pattern has been established of providing delayed but correct responses as the item difficulty increases.

Scoring: 1 point – SM gives correct response 0 points – SM gives an incorrect response, says that he or she does not know the answer, or does not respond


Open the Stimulus Booklet to Sample Item A • Look at this picture. You will choose which one of these (point across response

options) goes here (point to box with question mark).

• The right answer will work going across (point across now with question mark) and going down (point down column with question mark).

• You should only look across and down to find the answer. Do not look diagonally

(point across boxes on both diagonals).

• Which one here (point across response options) goes here (point to box with question mark)?

CORRECT RESPONSE (5): That’s right!

• When you go across the top row (point across boxes in top row), the blue star changes to a yellow circle.

• This means that when you go across the bottom row (point across boxes in bottom

row), the blue star should change to a yellow circle too.

• When you go down the first column (point down column on SM’s left), the boxes have the same shape in the same color, blue stars.

• This means that when you go down the second column (point down column with

question mark), the boxes should also have the same shape in the same color, yellow circles.

INCORRECT RESPONSE: Let’s look again.

• To get the right answer going across, look at the boxes in the top row (point to top row).

• When you go across the top row (point across boxes in top row), the blue star

changes to a yellow circle.

• This means that when you go across the bottom row (point across boxes in bottom row), the blue star should change to a yellow circle too.

• To get the right answer going down, look at the boxes in this column (point to

column on SM’s left).

• When you go down the first column (point down column on SM’s left), the boxes have the same shape in the same color, blue stars.

• This means that when you go down the second column (point down column with question mark), the boxes should also have the same shape in the same color, yellow circles.

Sample Item Response SA 1 2 3 4 5


Turn to Sample Item B • This is another kind of problem. The boxes are in order going across (point

across boxes, from SM’s left to right).

• The right answer will follow the order you see across the other boxes.

• Which one here (point across response options) goes here (point to box with question mark)?

CORRECT RESPONSE (4): That’s right!

• When you look across the boxes, you see that they go in this order: (point to appropriate box, from the SM’s left to right, as you say) large circle, small circle, large circle, small circle, large circle.

• The small circle (point to response option 4) goes here (point to box with question

mark) because it would go next. INCORRECT RESPONSE: Let’s look again.

• When you look across the boxes, you see that they go in this order: (point to appropriate box, from the SM’s left to right, as you say) large circle, small circle, large circle, small circle, large circle (point to response option 4) goes here (point to box with question mark) because it would go next.

• A small circle comes after a large circle as you go in order across the boxes.

Sample Item Response SB 1 2 3 4 5


Though this exercise is not being timed, please work at a steady pace and if you find yourself stuck, either guess or move on. Point to the visual stimuli, the response options, and the box with the question mark, just as in the sample questions.. Ready? Let’s Begin. Discontinue: After 3 consecutive scores of 0 Item Response Score MR4 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 MR6 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 MR8 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 MR10 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 MR12 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 MR14 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 MR16 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 MR18 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 MR20 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 MR22 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 MR24 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 MR26 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 Ok, great job!

PHASE 38: REY AUDITORY VERBAL LEARNING TEST I INTRODUCTION

Now I am going to ask you to recall some words that I will say to you. SM is read a list of words and is asked to recall the words in any order. This procedure is repeated for four trials.

Scoring: -Score 1 point for each correct response -Score 0 points for each incorrect response Note: Each word recalled is given credit only once for each trial.

PHASE 38: TRAIL MAKING TESTS, A AND B INTRODUCTION This next one is a dot-to-dot game. Materials: Response Forms Stopwatch Black pencil without eraser Start with Sample A. If SM can do the sample, give Trail Making Test A. Do not show SM the main test forms until you’re ready to say “GO”. This will prevent pre-scanning of the path. Give Sample B second. If SM can do the sample, give Trail Making Test B. If SM makes an error, stop SM, but continue timing. Don’t tell SM where to go next, just point out where to start from. Correct quickly, to avoid adding time to the SM’s score.

Scoring: Record, in seconds, the length of time required to perform each trial beginning when the SM starts the task until the task is completed. Discontinue test after 2 minutes.

Page 2 of 3

TRAILS A Give SM sample for Trails A.

• On this page (point) there are some numbers.

• Begin at the number 1 (point to 1) and draw a line from 1 to 2 (point to 2), 2 to 3 (point to 3), 3 to 4 (point to 4), and so on, in order, until you reach the end (point to the circle marked “END”).

• Do not lift your pencil from the paper once you begin.

• Draw the line to get the idea.

• Good! Let’s try the next one. • Work as quickly as you can without making mistakes, and

don’t take the pencil off the paper. • Tell me when you have finished

Do not turn over the form until you’re ready to say go. Turn the paper over. Now GO! (Start stopwatch) Discontinue: If A takes longer than 2 minutes.

PHASE 38: ARITHMETIC INTRODUCTION

These next few questions were also asked when you were 13 years old. We are looking to test your ability to mentally solve arithmetic problems. We are asking these again 25 years later because we are interested in knowing how people learn and change as they grow older. Materials: Stopwatch Timing: The time limit for each item is 30 seconds Begin timing after saying the last word of each question Repeat a question ONLY ONCE per item & KEEP THE STOPWATCH GOING even if repeating a question.

All responses are written verbatim. Scoring: 1 point - If examinee gives a correct response within time limit 0 points - If examinee gives an incorrect response, says that he/she does not know the answer, or does not respond within the time limit


I am going to read you some problems. Sit back and relax. I need you to listen carefully, you can only ask me to read each problem one more time. If you are having difficulty answering the problem after 30 seconds, we will move on to the next one. Remember, questions will gradually get more complicated so do not get discouraged. Discontinue Criterion: After 3 consecutive scores of 0 The time limit for each item is 30 seconds SAMPLE QUESTION Lou has six baseballs. He loses three. How many baseballs does he have left? CORRECT RESPONSE (3): That’s right. Let’s try some more. INCORRECT RESPONSE (or no response): That’s not quite right. To solve this problem you start with six baseballs and take away three baseballs. This leaves three baseballs. Let’s try some more. Items Correct Score Response AR6 Lee has four blankets. He buys four more. How many 8 0 1 blankets does he have all together? _______ AR8 Bill has 4 children and 20 toys. If each child gets an equal 5 0 1 number of toys, how many should each child get? _______ AR10 John has 28 books. He sells half of them to a used 5 0 1 bookstore and gives 9 more away.

BALANCE TEST SNUM We are going to do a quick test of your balance. Show card (balance1) Interviewer ID I’m going to ask you to stand on one leg with your eyes shut. I will be timing you to see how long you can maintain your balance, without moving your arms or putting your foot down, for up to 30 seconds. You’ll have 3 tries to do this. You’ll have this chair in front of you to grasp if you feel like you are about to fall.

Please remove your shoes and stand on this square.

Now, holding your arms across your chest, raise one foot off the floor and try to balance. Go ahead and practice balancing 5-10 seconds on each leg.

Ok, choose your favourite leg and raise the other foot off the floor; find your balance and then close your eyes. I’ll start the timer when you close your eyes. Your goal is to maintain your balance for 30 seconds without moving your arms or putting your foot down or opening your eyes. We’ll have you try this 3 times.

Start stop watch when they are balanced with eyes closed. Stop the watch if they, open eyes, move arms, or put their foot down. Wait 30 seconds and then have them try again. Repeat for up to 3 times. (if they make 30’ in first or second trial enter “30” for remaining trials).

Record time for each trial. (Max equals 30).
