Cognitive tests are assessments of the cognitive capabilities of humans and
other animals. Tests administered to humans include various forms of IQ
tests; those administered to animals include the mirror test and the T maze
test. Such study is important to research concerning the philosophy of
mind and psychology, as well as determination of human and animal
intelligence. Modern cognitive tests originated
through the work of James McKeen Cattell who coined the term "mental tests". They
followed Francis Galton's development of physical and physiological tests. For
example, Galton measured strength of grip and height and weight. He
established an "Anthropometric Laboratory" in the 1880s where patrons
paid to have physical and physiological attributes measured. Galton's
measurements had an enormous influence on psychology. Cattell continued the
measurement approach with simple measurements of perception. Cattell's
tests were eventually abandoned in favor of the battery test approach developed
by Alfred Binet. List
