Koh's Block Design and Passalong Tests (Test No.1 and 2) Note the particulars of the subject as required in the scoring sheet. Note also whether the subject is literate or illiterate. literate is the one who has not been to a school or has not stayed there long enough to acquire ordinary reading and writing ability. 1. 2. Note the observations very carefully and faithfully. Record the times as carefully as you can with the help of a stopwatch/sto clock as far as possible. A friend may help you in recording the time. 3. Give the tests in a natural manner. Obtain the confidence of the subject. Talk in the subject's own dialect if possible. But stick to the procedure of the tests rigidly. Give only as much aid or hint to the subject as is permissible. When the subject fails, do not put on a very serious look. Keep a cheerful business like attitude throughout. 4, Start testing with Koh's Block Design Test: (1) Place four cubes before the subject. Explain how they all are alike and - coloured ina particular way. Let him handle and examine the cubes at leisure and confidently, and let him feel comfortable. (2) Show him card No.1. Tell him that a design like this has to be prepared with the cubes. Even if he attempts to prepare the design himself, you should demonstrate this design to every subject. (3) Mix up the blocks. Now ask him to prepare Design.No.1-as you have already shown him. Note the time. if (4) Ifthe subject succeeds in the above within the time limit, namely 2 minutes, proceed to Design No.2 and ask him to construct it without any demon- stration or help from your side. (5) Proceed in this manner with successive designs.~ (6) When the subject fails in a particular design within the tim onstrate the design after he has failed. Do not discuss, again try this design. Pass on to the next which, again try independently. (7) When the subject comes to Design No.6, give him five more blocks 5 ing the total nine; when he comes to design No. 8, give him the remaye ing seven, making the total sixteen. - (8) Stop the test when failure has been recorded twice in Succession, (9) The time limit for designs No. (s) 1-5 is 2 minutes each and for Designs 6 10 is 3 minutes each. (10) In the Remarks column you may note anything particula find about the subject in making the designs. 'e limit, 1 dem, Do not, " > Ie 1, OF Course, he nn m st TOF Peculiar You 5. In giving the Passalong Test: (1) Take the first and the smallest box, and the card No. 1. Point out the subject that the red block has been placed near the blue end and the blue blocks near the red end. Explain that the red block must come to the red side and the blue blocks to the blue side as in the card. Emphasize that block should not tobe lifted, but may only be moved (by sliding). Demonstrate the solution of the first box to every subject. (2) Again place the card No.1 and the box and ask the subject to do as you have already just demonstrated. Record Success or failure within the time liimit. (3) Proceed to next designs with the appropriate boxes and after having placed the blocks Properly in the initial Position as required in the test. The initial Position is obtained by simply reversing the coloured ends of the box. The coloured ends of the box must however be finally placed before the subject as in the Design Card, which must be presented to the subject with the number of the card up. Passatlong Test:(4) When the subject fails in a particular design within the time limt, demonstrate the design after he has failed. Do not discuss. Do not let him again try this design. Pass on to the next which, of course, he must again try independently, (5) Stop the test when failure has been recorded twice in succession. (6) (7) Pattern- 1, 2. The time limit for Designs 1 to 4 is 2 minutes each and for designs 5 to 8 is 3 minutes each. In the remarks colum you may note anything particular or peculiar you find about the subject in solving the designs.” Drawing Test(Test No. 3) There are eight patterns of increasing difficulty from the ist to 8th. Give the following instructions to the subject: ‘Here is paper and a pencil. I shall show a figure to you’. (Place a card before the subject. Let the card be dispalyed so that the number of the card appears at the top before the subject). Now make a figure like this without tracng the line again and without lifting your pencil, once you have started drawing’. The card should remain in full view of the subject throughout. . Let the subject try successive patterns. Stop when failure is recorded twice in succession. Provide a plain white sheet of paper to the subject to draw the pat- terns. Successive patterns may be drawn on the same sheet as long as there is space to draw. Put the name of the subject at the top corner. Allow a maximum of 2 minutes for each of the first four patterns. Allow a maximum of 3 minutes for patterns Nos. 5 to 8. The subject may make as many attempts on the paper as he likes within the time limit. Demonstrate the first pattern, if necessary. It is only meant to give the subject confidence and facility in drawing. When a failure occurs in one of the patterns, demonstrate this, but do 3not let the subject try this pattern again: ness on to the next . Soy when failure is recorded in two successive designs. 8. Watch the subject while he is drawing. If he repeats aline or its hi pencil, remind him of the conditions. Ask him to commence afte proper thought. If he makes a drawing wrong, sess it out ang ak him to start a fresh. Encourage him to try as many times as he likes within the time limit before you record a failure in a particular pattery, Try out the patterns yourself first. You will be able to see the devicg, Solutions other than those givenn are also possible and should be familiar to you. Immediate Memory For Sounds (a) Direct (Test No. 4) 1, Immediate memory too has a close relation with mental development of general intelligence. 2. Hindi consonants have been taken as the units of sounds, because they put the literate and the illiterate at par. (Even numbers are used to test the memory) 3. Give the instructions to the subject : ' T will say something. Listen attentively. Listen’ ' 4. Start with two letters (or sounds). This is merely to give pratice to the subject. Read out distinctly and with even intonation. Proceed with more letters till failure is recorded. Under each head we have given three alternative sets of letters. If failure is recorded in the first set, try the second and the third alternative sets, If failure is recorded in all the three alterantives, a final failure is recorded and stop. Do not proceed with the series any more. Immediate Memory For Sounds (b) Reversed (Test No. 4) 1. The instructions in this part are: Whatever I say you must say backwards. If I say "A B" you have to say"B A". Explain this reversal process clearly to the subject, if necessary using another set of two syllables as a second example, 2. Proceed up the series till failure is recorded. Failure means a failure in 4 Repeat it after I have finished.all the three alternatives of a particular set. Instructions For Picture Construction Test (Test No. 5) 1. This is the fifth and the last test of the battery. 2. This is a comparatively easy test for the age-group 11 to 16 years and has been purposely put in to enable some of the inferior children to score appre- ciably. 3. The test consists of five graded sub-tests, 4, The general instructions will be: ‘Here are a number of pieces (specify 2,4,6,8,12 as the case may be) of a pic- ture. Put the pieces together to form the picture. 5, Start with the 1st sub-test. Most of the children will be able to do this themselves without your aid. In any case demonstrate and explain clearly what is to be done. This first subtest is only to give practice and to let the subject understand clearly what is wanted of him. 6. Pass on then to the 2nd (picture divided into four parts), 3rd (picture divided into six parts), 4th (picture divided in to eight parts), and 5th, the last (picture divided into twelve parts.) 7. Follow the usual procedure, i.e., (a) If failure occurs in sub-test, demonstrate and then pass on to the next. (b) Stop with two successive failures. 8. If the subject is able to pass the first three sub-test then in the fourth and fifth sub-tests, in case of failure, record not only failure but the number of pieces the subject was able to fit in correctly within the timelimit, i.e., for exam- ple 6 out of 8 or 7 in case of the fourth sub-test and 6 out of 12, or 9 out of 12 etc., in case of the fifth sub-test. 9. The time limit is 2 minutes each for sub-tests 1 to 3 and 3 minutes each for sub-tests No. (s) 4 and 5. Record both the time taken by the subject and failure or success. 10. The pieces of a sub-test must be presented before the child in a pile in 5SS * the serial order that has been marked at the back of the Pleces. OF course picture sides of the pieces will be exposed to the Child. . The numbers at i back are only to guide the examiner in placing the pieces in the desire stan ong initic the child. ~ peannie two exceptions. 1 the an No.1, put the two pieces side by side, In sub-test 5 put the pieces aie oo he One Pile, Put pieces 1 to 6, and in the second, by its side, pieces its bane 1 and 7 will thus sopear before the subject on top side by side to give him the initial correct start, .d out the solutions of the sub-tests easily yourself but they , = ies me you perfectly sure about them.

The scoring standards have been kept as uniform and simple as possible. Koh's Block Design Test: For the first five designs, and for each design: 2 marks for success within a minute. 1 mark for success between 1 minute and 2 minutes. 0 mark for a failure , or Success after the time limit. For designs No. (s). 6 to 10 and for each design. 3 marks for success within a minute. 2 marks for success between 1 minul excluding 2 minutes). 1 mark for success between 2 a 0 mark for a failure, oF success al te and 2 minutes (but nd 3 minutes. fter the time limit. Maximum possible score is = 25For the first four sub-tests, and for each sub-test. 2 marks for success within a minute. 1 mark for success between 1 minute and 2 minutes. 0 mark for a failure, or success after the time limit. For the last four sub-tests, and for each sub-test. 3 marks for success within a minute. ; (out 2 marks for success between 1 minute and 2 minutes excluding 2 minutes) : 1 mark for success between 2 and 3 minutes. - 0 mark for a failure, or success after the time limit. Maximum possible score is = 20 Patterns drawing test: Exactly the same as for the Passalong Test. Maximum possible score is = 20 Memory Test: Direct Order: One mark each for the number of digits or sounds in the maximum correct reproduction, Maximum possible score is = 9 Reverse Order: One mark each for the number of digits or sounds in the maximum correct reversed reproduction, Maximum possible score is = 6pictures Construction test: Pictures 1 to 3, and for each of them - 2 marks for success within a minute. 1 mark for success between 1 minute and 2 minutes. 0 mark for a failure, or success after the time limit, Pictures 4 and 5, and for each of them. 3 marks for success within a minute. 2 marks for success between 1 minute and 2 minutes (but excluding 2 mins). : 1 mark for success between 2 and 3 minutes. 0 mark for a failure, or success after the time limit. For pictures 4 and 5, however, credit in addition to that earned according to the above schedule, is to be given as under: For picture 4 : 1 mark, provided that at least 6 of the 8 parts have been correctly put within the time limit. For picture 5 ; 2 marks provided that at least 9 of the 12 parts have been correctly put together, and 1 mark provided that at least 6 of the 12 parts have been correctly put together, both within the time limit. Maximum possible score is = 15 [Maximum possible score for the whole battery : 95 Time: The total time taken in the administration of the battery to an individual is rather 'ess than an hour.F 6¢] 42 ‘SIBBA OT SUUOW 9 SIBBA ST SBBA ST SUILOW 9 SIBDA HT —|— SUIUOW 9 SBD, ET SIEBA ET dNOUD ALVAFLIT901] POT /EOT] TOT] 66 | 86 ] 26 | 96] S6] +6] 26 | 16 [06 | G8las | 28] os] be] es | Ts | 08 SIRBA OT 98 |¥8 [€8 | T8 La uow 9 saeo, st za [98 [v8 | 8 SIDA ST ZOT|90T/POTIEOT|TOT |OOT | 86 | £6] 96] S6 | F6 | €6 | TE 60T| 80T|9OT| POT |EOT |TOT }OOT | 86 | 26 | 96 | S6 | FG | €6 62 [88 [22 | $8 Lunuow 9 sian ot t6 [06 [68 | ze sieeAet @TT| TIT] GOT |8OT |9OT |hOT |EOT | TOT} OOT| 86 | 46 [2 s6 STI] PIT/ETT|TTE/6OF |80T |90T | POT] EOT| TOT|OOT| 86 | 26 2 a STT|ZIT/OTT/HTT ZIT TTT [607 | SOT] 9OT| POT | EOT | TOT |OOT 26 | 16 | 68h quow 9 s1ea, EF ZZT] OZT/GTT {ZIT (OTT |eTT |2TT | TTT] 6OT| SOT |90T |POT JEOT | TOT) 66 | 86 | 26 | 96 | b6 | £6 26 SIPOA ET G21] bZT/ZZT/TZT JOLT |ZTT (OTT | TT] ZET| TET |6OT |SOT |90T | POTIEOT | TOT| 66 | 86 | 26 | S6 | Fo BuuoW 9 SueaA ZT| f O€T/ 8ZT/9ZT| PZT ECT | TT |GTT | SIT) OTT vOT|EOT|TOT| 66 | 86 | 26 S128, ZT TET]62T [ZT |SZT [Eze | 221} O2T 80T|90T|POT |EOT |TOT | 66 PuUOW 9 Sie9, TT oct |azt jozt|pzt}zzt jozt att jott | sttlett | ttt|60r|sot |90t |bor \zot s1eok TT 03 6S|as|zs|9s |ss | ps] es|zs |TS| 0s |6r| 8b] Zp|9P | Sb] be) Ev | ZH!
