Question

Robert Yerkes, past president of the American Psychological Association, chaired a committee in which Terman and others served that developed verbal and non-verbal tests of the SATs.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Robert Yerkes, past president of the American Psychological Association, never chaired a committee in which Terman and others served that developed verbal and non-verbal tests of the SATs.

During the tenure of Yerke as President of American Psychological Association, he was fully involved in the development of Army Alpha and Army Beta Intelligence Tests. This was part of his World War I efforts.

He had a committee which worked with him to develop the intelligence tests. Psychologists like Lewis Terman, Henry Goddard and Carl Birgham were in the commitee.

Therefore, it's a committee that developed Army Alpha and Army Beta Intelligence Tests and not verbal and non-verbal tests.
