Abstract
Abstract:
Maze intelligence scale is a non-verbal designed to evaluate psychological planning capacity and foresight. It consists of mazes with varying amount of difficulty so that participant can solve it.The test is appropriate for the age group of three and upwards. The motive behind this intelligence scale is to assess the performance level, decision making, problem solving and cognitive functioning of participant’s when they are placed under pressure and non-pressure condition when there is no reward or pleasure. This intelligence will be conducted by providing different mazes to participants under different conditions. We will select our participants for the scale through Random sampling. Material required for scale consist of mazes, pencil, and stopwatch. In pressurized situation, participants will complete maze in allotted time, and we will record that time. In non-pressurized situation participants can take as much as possible for them to complete maze. In last situation we will only record time and provide rewards to some of tests and observe their behavior in presence of reward or no reward. There are different theories supporting our scale such as Edward Tolman theory,Thorndikes theory, Porteous Maze test, Mori’s water maze,Oltan and Samuelson, Small theory.

to see the performance in various condition which involves stress and reward factors and conditions are stress induce environment without reward, stress induced environment with reward, without stress without reward, without stress with reward.
Secondary Outcomes (explanation)
to see the performance in various condition which involves stress and reward factors and conditions are stress induce environment without reward, stress induced environment with reward, without stress without reward, without stress with reward.

Experimental Design

Experimental Design
it is an intelligence scale based on the maze with different level of complexity that will help to evaluate te cognitive efficiency, decision making abilities and information processing in different environments involves stress and reward factors and conditions are stress induce environment without reward, stress induced environment with reward, without stress without reward, without stress with reward.
