Restoration of the Mental Age in the 1972 Revised Stanford-Binet

Joan F. Goodman, Ed.D.

Joan F. Goodman, University of Pennsylvania

Owing to renorming of the Stanford-Binet in 1972, mental age (MA) has increasingly become a raw score and is no longer equivalent to the chronological age in the average child, particularly at the younger years. Despite this important shift, the test protocol and manual remain substantially the same. Consequently, clinicians are apt to overlook the change in MA and will continue making traditional interpretations which are now in error by as much as 6 months. The best remedy would be a restandardization of the 1937 test items, restoring MA to its original meaning. Short of this, the publishers should either include in the manual a proper explanation and conversion table (from tested MA to true MA) or delete references to MA from the test protocol and IQ tables.
