This article reviews factor-analytic research on individually administered intelligence tests from a Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) perspective. Although most new and revised tests of intelligence are based, at least in part, on CHC theory, earlier versions generally were not. Our review suggests that whether or not they were based on CHC theory, the…

Following the ongoing increase in nonmarital fertility, policy makers have looked for ways to limit the disadvantages faced by children of unmarried mothers. Recent initiatives included marriage promotion and welfare-to-work programs. Yet policy might also consider the promotion of three generational households. We know little about whether…

Thirty elementary students referred for possible learning disability were administered the achievement sections of the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery and several traditionally used school district tests. Identical student placement decisions were reached on 23 out of 30 students. (Author/GDC)

The performance of 79 elementary school students referred for learning disability evaluation was compared on the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC), the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and the Woodcock-Johnson Psychoeducational Battery (WJPEB). Pearson product-moment correlations were performed on the global…

Analyzed intelligence and achievement test scores for 100 learning disabled boys to investigate the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) as a predictor of Woodcock Johnson reading, mathematics, and written language scores. WISC-R performance IQ predicted the greatest variance. (JAC)

Examined relationship of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC), the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised), (WISC-R), and the Woodcock-Johnson Psychoeducational Battery (W-JPB), Part Two, using children (N=34) with learning disabilities. Found more consistent relationships between WISC-R and W-JPB Achievement tests than…

Evaluated correlations between Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, Woodcock-Johnson (W-J) Achievement clusters, Woodcock-Johnson Aptitude clusters, and Broad Cognitive Ability Score in 60 Behavior-Disordered male adolescents. Aptitude cluster scores had insufficient validity to justify computation for population; Broad Cognitive…

Two studies were conducted to (1) analyze the subtest characteristics of the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery, and (2) apply those results to an analysis of 50 fourth grade learning disabled (LD) students' performance on the Battery. Analyses indicated that the poorer performance of LD students on the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive…

Compared the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) and the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery (W-J) for 142 children with regular and learning-disabled (LD) class placement. The W-J and WISC-R evidenced low to moderate correlations and significant mean differences. W-J/WISC-R correlations for the regular students exceeded…

Students (N=54) not designated as learning disabled completed the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. Significant differences were found in the mean scores between the two measures, suggesting that the Woodcock-Johnson may be loaded with verbal factors. (NRB)

The study compared the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery Tests of Cognitive Ability and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised for a sample of 51 learning disabled children (7-11 years old). (Author/SBH)

Three significant canonical correlations were obtained from the analysis of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Ability (WJTCA) to examine test overlap with a sample of suspected learning disabled children. Results indicate a substantial portion of the variance is independent.…

Explored the relationship between third-grade children's (N=45) performance on the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery (WJ) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale-Revised (WISC-R) and subsequent ninth-grade reading and math achievement. Found significant correlations between third-grade WISC-R and WJ intellectual/achievement scores and…

Twenty-one studies that reported mean score differences between the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Ability (WJTCA) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) Full Scale are summarized. The differences are found to be minimal and are attributed to data bias and WJTCA's higher correlation with achievement. (EGS)
