Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales
for Early Childhood (Early SB5)
Fifth Edition, Gale H. Roid, 2005
General Information
Valid and reliable assessment of intellectual functioning is an important need
in many assessment practices, and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales for
Early Childhood, Fifth Edition (Early SB5) provides a psychometrically superior,
accessible, and cost-effective test of intelligence for use with young children.
Early SB5 is a specialized version of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, Fifth
Edition (SB5) for use with young children ages 2-0 through 7-3 years.
Uses
The applications of Early SB5 are generally identical to those of SB5. The
primary difference is that Early SB5 may serve only as a screener for the early
identification of intellectual giftedness, given the basic design of the test.
Professionals seeking a broad assessment of early intellectual giftedness should
instead use the complete SB5.
Early SB5 may be used to:
• assess mental retardation,
• assess developmental cognitive delays,
• identify developmental disabilities and exceptionalities, and
• plan intervention including individual family plans, individual education
plans, and neuropsychological evaluation.
Administration
Early SB5, like SB5, has ten subtests. Two routing subtests (Nonverbal Fluid
Reasoning and Verbal Knowledge) cover the age range 2-0 through 7-3, while
the remaining eight subtests offer scores in the preschool range, from 2-0
through 5-11. Testing begins in Item Book 1 with the two routing subtests,
which are retained in their entirety. However, all remaining subtests to which
the first two subtests route are contained in Item Book 2, with only the most
difficult levels of items dropped across those subtests. Dropping these more
difficult items generally has no impact on the scores of the young children
typically assessed with Early SB5. However, because of the changes, assessment
for intellectual giftedness would require use of only the two routing subtests or,
better, the complete SB5.
