Original Work in the Use of Standardized Tests
Abstract
Mental age is the stage of intellectual development expressed in years or months that an individual has reached in comparison with the normal mental age of the average individual of the same chronological age. This is to say that a child who is 9 years old and has a mental age of 9 years is a child of normal mental development for his age. If, however, he has only the mental development of a normal year old children his mental age is only 8 years. In like manner, a mentally defective child of 9 years may have a mental age of only 4 years, or a young genius of 9 years may have a mental age of 12 or 13 years.
