Abstract

Children between the ages of 3 and 10 can take the 6-Dimesional Intelligence Scale for Children, an individual intelligence test. It takes 40 to 60 minutes to administer the test. It produces a Full Scale IQ, also referred to as an IQ score or intelligence quotient, which measures a child's whole intellectual capacity. Additionally, it includes Arithmetic Problems, Object Identification, Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence, Linguistic Intelligence, Spatial Intelligence and Logical Intelligence. Three tasks are verbal tests and three non-verbal tests and test becomes more difficult after first three items. Tests will assess fluid reasoning, working memory, and cognitive skills. These indices show how well a youngster performs across many cognitive domains. The current experiment will primarily focus on the 6-Dimensional Intelligence Scale-Child version, which includes both audio and visual instructions. There will be a total of six cubes with six activities each, with varying degrees of difficulty. We can administer the test by displaying various cube faces. Each side of a cube contains a separate assignment that we might use to estimate the child's intellectual capacity.

Primary Outcomes

Primary Outcomes (end points)

This study will contribute in the betterment of our society as well as other societies and we will be able to help who need special care which is not provided to them due to lack of resources and will enable to provide the better solution to make special arrangements in order to provide treatment for ASD, ADHD and intellectual disability.

Secondary Outcomes (explanation)

Experimental Design

A systematic random sampling method will be used to determine the intervention used for each child. The selected children will be approached, briefly apprised about the purpose and procedure of the study. Formal written consents will be obtained from caretakers of those willing children. Independent Sample T-test or Paired Sample T-test will be used for statistical analysis.
