Kevin McGrew in a short video about WJ4!

  
In this five minute video Dr. Kevin McGrew talks about the WJ4 test that is currently being published.  McGrew  says, that one of the goals of the 4th version was to increase the cognitive complexity of the tests.  One of the ways to do that is by increasing the working memory demands of tests. The test developers created tasks that require the performance of many simple tasks all at once.  These kinds of tasks increase working memory demands.  That's what caused Auditory ability to have the highest g loading in the WJ4.  McGrew also tells about his and his colleagues' efforts to strive to improve the CHC model which is supposed to be an evolving model.




The video is nice, but those who want to delve deeper should watch this presentation in which McGrew presents the WJ4 changes elaborately.
