Church, A. Timothy; Katigbak, Marcia S.
Intelligence, v11 n4 p371-389 Oct-Dec 1987
Ecocultural bias in the Preschool Intelligence Test and the Adult Verbal Aptitude Test was studied. Test results with 177 five- and six-year-olds and 168 mothers in neighborhoods with similar lifestyles and economies in the Philippines show need to screen items for bias. Tests of crystallized abilities had greatest potential for bias. Culturally equating cognitive measures was difficult. (SLD)
