Instructions for Koh's Block Design

1. Note the Particulars of the subject as required in the scoring
sheet. Note also whether the subject is literate or illiterate. Illiterate is one
who has not been to a school or has not stayed there long enough to
acquire ordinary reading and writing.
2. Note the observations very carefully and faithfully. Record the
times as carefully as you can with the help of a stopwatch as far as
possible. Afriend may help you in recording time.
3. Give the tests in anatural manner. Obtain the confidence of the
subject. Talk in the subject's own dialect if possible. But stick to the
procedure of the test rigidity. Give only as much aid or hint to the subject
as is permissible. When the subject fails, do not put on a very serious
look. Keepacheerful business like attitudethroughout.
Start testing with Kohs' Block Design Test.
(1) Place four cubes before the subject. Explain how they
are all alike and coloured in a particular wey. Let him
handle and examine the cubes at leisure and confidently
and let him feel at home.
(2) Show him card No. 1.Tell him that a design like this has to
be prepared with the cubes even if the attempts to prepare
the design himself, you should demonstrated this design
to every subject.
(3) Mix up the blocks. Now ask him to prepare Design No. las
you have already shown him.Note the time
(4) If the subject succeed in the above within the time limit,
namely 2 minutes, proceed to Design No. 2 and ask him to
construct it without any demonstration or help from your
side
(5) Proceed in this mannerwith successive designs.
(6) When the subject fails in particular design within the time
limit, demonstrate the design after he has failed. Do not
discuss. Do not let him again try this design. Pass on to
 (2)
the next which, of course, he must again try
independantly.
(7) When the subject comes to Design No. 6, give him five
more blocks making the total nine, when he comes to
design No. 8, give him the remaining seven, making total
sixteen.

(8) Stop the test when failure has been recorded twice in
succession.

(9) The time limit forDesigns Nos. 1-5 is2minutes each and
for Designs Nos. 6-10 is 3 minutes each.
(10) In the Remarks column you may note anything
particular of peculiar you find about the subject in
making the designs.

Instructions for Pass along Test:
(1) Take the first and the samllest box, and the card No. 1.
Point out to the subject that the red block has been
placed near the blue end and the blue blocks near the
red end. Explain that the red block must come to the red
side and the blue blocks to the blue side as inthe card.
Emphasize that blocks have not to be lifted, but may
only be moved.
Demonstrate the solution of the first box to every subject
(2) Again place the card No. 1and the box and ask the
subject to do as you have already just demonstrated
Record success orfailure within the time limit.
(3) Proceed to Designs Nos. 2, 3 etc. with the
appropriate
boxes, and after having placed the blocks properly in
the initial positions as required in the test.
The initial
position is obtained by simply reversing the coloured
ends of the box. The coloured ends of the
box must
however be finally placed before the subject as in the
Design Card, which must be presented to the subject
 (3)
with the number of the card up.
(4) When the subject fails in a particular design within the
time limit, demonstrate the design after he has failed. Do
not discuss. Do not let him again try this design.Pass
on to the next which, of course, he must again try
independently.
(5) Stop the test when failure has been recorded twice in
succession.

(6) The time limit for Designs 1 to 4 is 2 minutes each and

for Designs 5to 8 is 3 minutes each.
(7) In the remarks column you may note anything particular
or peculiary you find about the subject in solving the
designs.
Test No.3
Instructions for Pattern-Drawing
(1) There are eight patterns of increasing difficulty from the 1stto
8th.

(2) Give the following instructions to the subject:

Here is paper and a pencil. Ishall showafigure to you
( TE yes IGA gHoÌ feI Place acard before the
subject. Let the card be so displayed that the number of the
card appears at the top before the subject
Now make figure like this without repeating your lines and
without lifting your pencil when once you have started
drawing (i Ni | TG TE f (, ) qI

card should remain in full view of the subject throughout.

(3) Let the subject try successive patterns stop when failure is
recorded twice in succession.
(4) Provide a plain white sheet of paper to the subject on which
to draw the patterns. Successive patterns may be drawn on the same
sheet as long as there is room. Put the name of the subject at the top
 (4)
Corner.

(5) Allow a maximum of 2 minutes for each of the first four

patterns. Allow maximum of3 minutes for patterns No. 5to 8.The
subject may make as many attempts on the paper as he likes within the
time limit.
(6) Demonstrate the first pattern, ifnecessary. It is only meant to
give the subject confidence and facility in drawing.
(7) When a failure occurs in one of the patterns, demonstrate
this, but do not let the subject try this pattern again. Pass on the next Stop
when failure is recorded in two successive designs.
(8) Watch the subject while he is drawing. If he repeats a line or
lifts his pencil, remind him of the conditions. Ask him to commence after
proper thought if he makes a drawingwrong. cross it out and ask him to
start afresh. Encourage him to try as many times as he lies within the time
limit before you recordafailure in a particular pattern.
(9) The solutions are given at the back of the cards. Try out the
pattern yourself first. You willbe able to see the device. Solutions other
than those given are also possible and should be familiar to you.
Test No. 4a
Instructions for Immediate memory for sounds la) Direct
(1) Immediate memory t0o has a close relation with mental
development or general intelligence.
(2) Hindi consonants have been taken as the units of
sounds,
because they put the literate and the illiterate at par.
(3) Give the instructions to the subject:
Iwill say something ( qo DETm) Listen attentively (A H
g) Repeat it after I have finished ( Gq HE g H 4g R qIG DEl)
Listen (r g)
(4) We start with two letters (or sounds) This is merely to
give
practice to the subject. Read out distinctiy and with even intonation
proceed with more letters till failure is recorded. Under each head we
have given three alternative sets of letters failure is recorded in the first
se trythe second and the third alternative sets. If failure is recorded in all
 (5)
the three alternatives a final failure is recorded and we
stop. We do not
proceeduptheseries any more.

failure in all the three alternatives of particular set.
Test No. 5
Instructions For Picture Constructions Test
1. This is the fifth and the last test ofthebattery.
2. This is a comparatively easy test for the age-group 11to 16 y
are and has been purposely put in to enable some of the inferior children
to score appreciably.
3. The test consists of five graded sub-tests.
4. The general instructions willbe:
Here area number of pieces (Specify 2,4, 6, 8,2 as the case
may be) of a picture. Put the pieces together to form the picture( yc

5. Start with the Ist sub-test. Most of thechildren will be able to

do this themselves without your aid. In any case demonstrate and explain
clearly what is to be done. This first sub-test is only to give practice and to
let the subject understand clearly what is wanted of him.
6. Pass on then to the 2nd ( picture divided into six parts), 4th
(Picture divided into eight parts), and 5th,the last (picture divided into
twelve parts)
7. Follow the usual procedure i.e.,
(a) If failure occurs in a sub-test, demonstrate and then pass
 (6)
on to the next.
(b) Stop with two successives failures.
8. If the subject is abls to pass the first three sub-tests then in
the fourth and fifth sub-tests, in case of failure, record not only failure but
the number of pieces the subject was able to fit in correctly within the time
limit, i.e., for example 6 out of 8 or 7 out of 8 in the case of the fourth sub
test and 6 out of 12, or 9out of 12 etc. in the case of the fifth sub-test.
9. The time limit is 2 minutes each for sub-tests 1 to 3 and 3
minutes each for sub-tests Nos. 4 and 5. Record both the time taken by
the subject and failure or success.
10. The pieces of asub-test must be presented before the child
in apile in the serial order that has been marked at the back of the pieces.
Of course the picture sides of the pieces will be exposed to the child. The
numbers at the back are only to guide the examiner in placing the pieces
in the desired standard order initially before the child.
The above has two exceptions.In the sub-test NO. I. put, the two
pieces side by side, in sub-test 5put the pieces in two piles. IN one pile
put pieces 1to 6, and in the second, by its side pieces 7 to 12. Pieces 1 and
7 willthus appear before the subject on top side by side to give him the
initial correct start.
11. You can find out the solutions of the sub-tests easily
yourself, but they are given below to make you perfectly sure about
them. Make yourselffamiliar with the solution before you give the test.
