[quote=Anonymous]The kid with the 115 IQ is not “really bright” — s/he is slightly above average. So average processing speed doesn’t function as much of a bottleneck wrt this kid’s performance. By contrast, an exceptionally bright kid with average processing speed isn’t going to be able to show what s/he can do on a test with significant time pressure. Hence the accommodation based on the differential. This makes sense in a context where speed isn't supposed to be what’s being tested. I’m one of the “give everybody enough time” posters, so if I ran the zoo, 115 IQ kid could have additional time too. But it’s pretty clear that, in the absence of any accommodations, 145 IQ kid’s score is much less likely to reflect his/her ability than 115 IQ kid’s score.[/quote]
