Binet and Simon developed the concept of mental age as a measure of a child's intellectual development. They believed that children's intellectual abilities should be compared to what is normal for their age group, rather than being assessed based on a set of fixed criteria or natural ability. Mental age was used as a measure of cognitive ability, and it allowed for individual differences to be accounted for in a more nuanced way than simple standardized tests or comparisons to normative data.
