Why did David Wechsler design the Wechsler Intelligence Scale? He didn't feel that the other tests adequately measured intellige

nce levels in adults. He felt that knowing someone's mental age was important. He needed a formula for comparing mental age to chronological age. He wanted to know how someone was going to do in school.

He didn't feel that the other tests adequately measured intelligence levels in adults.

The test applied at those time was Binet scale, which differed greatly from The Wechsler–Bellevue Intelligence Scale, released in 1939. Wechsler opposed to the Binet scale items by saying they were not valid for adult test-takers because the items were chosen specifically for use with children. Furthermore, Wechsler said that it was not valid because: “Binet scale's emphasis on speed, with timed tasks scattered throughout the scale, tended to unduly handicap older adults." And he believes that a test should focus on the global capacity of a person to act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with his environment. So that Wechsler believed that "mental age norms clearly did not apply to adults.

According to the socio-cognitive explanation of dissociative identity disorder, therapists have? Rewarded patients with attention and praise for revealing more and more personalities.

<h3>What is the social cognitive theory of dissociative identity disorder?</h3>
  • The sociocognitive hypothesis of dissociative identity disorder (DID; formerly known as multiple personality disorder) contends that DID is a product of psychotherapy and the media rather than a legitimate psychiatric condition with a posttraumatic origin.
  • CBT addresses these harmful thought patterns and swaps them out for ones grounded in the present. Additionally, CBT aids the individual in processing prior traumas and learning coping mechanisms for the depression that frequently accompanies DID.
  • In order to safely remember and process traumatic experiences, build coping mechanisms, and, in the case of dissociative identity disorder, merge several identities into a single, useful individual are the objectives of treatment for dissociative disorders.

On the freeway, maintain a 3 second following distance. If the road is slippery or wet, adjust your distance to _________.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

On the freeway, maintain a 3 second following distance. If the road is slippery or wet, adjust your distance to four or more seconds.

Explanation:

Every time climate conditions change, your vehicle will have variations in the way it reacts. So, if in regular conditions you should maintain a 3-second following distance, in other unusual conditions you must adjust this setting to be more cautious, and prevent any unforeseen events that could lead to an accident.
