Rice, Treva; And Others

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v46 n3 p699-708 Aut 1986

A battery of nine cognitive abilities tests to assess verbal, spatial, perceptual speed, and memory abilities in children at age four was constructed and administered to a sample of 267 children in the Colorado Adoption Project. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed four correlated factors that adequately describe the covariation among the tests. (Author/LMO)
