Styck, Kara M.; Watkins, Marley W. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2016
The structural validity of the "Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition" (WISC-IV) was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis for a clinical sample of 1,537 students diagnosed with specific learning disabilities (SLD) by school psychologists in two large southwestern school districts. Results indicated that a…

Cavalli, Eddy; Colé, Pascale; Leloup, Gilles; Poracchia-George, Florence; Sprenger-Charolles, Liliane; El Ahmadi, Abdessadek – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2018
Developmental dyslexia is a lifelong impairment affecting 5% to 10% of the population. In French-speaking countries, although a number of standardized tests for dyslexia in children are available, tools suitable to screen for dyslexia in adults are lacking. In this study, we administered the "Alouette" reading test to a normative sample…

Smith, Douglas K.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1989
The study compared the performance of 18 elementary-age students with learning disabilities on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children. Correlations (corrected for restriction of range) between the two instruments were strong. (Author/DB)

Goh, David S.; Youngquist, James – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1979
The study involving 40 learning disabled children (6-8 years old) investigated the relationships between the various indexes of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) and the scales of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), and the comparability between the MSCA General Cognitive Index and the WISC-R Full Scale…

Meade, Linda S.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1981
To examine the concurrent and construct validity of the Slingerland Screening Tests (SST) for Children with Specific Language Disability in the assessment of learning disabilities, 382 children in grades 1 through 4 were given both the SST and an IQ test. The SST errors were significantly negatively correlated with IQ scores. (Author)

Chin, Christopher E.; Ledesma, Heloise Marie L.; Cirino, Paul T.; Sevcik, Rose A.; Morris, Robin D.; Frijters, Jan C.; Lovett, Maureen W. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2001
Concurrent validity of the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT) with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III) was evaluated. Both measures were administered to 65 children (ages 6-7). Results suggest caution against using the K-BIT exclusively for placement and diagnostic purposes with young children with reading…

Klanderman, John W.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1985
The study examined correlations between the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R), and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) for 44 learning disabled primary and intermediate special class students. The Mental Processing and Achievement scales of K-ABC…

Paal, Nicholaus; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1979
The study was designed to determine not only the comparability of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and the WISC-Revised (WISC-R) with 40 minimal brain dysfunction children (6-10 years old), but also to determine whether well-established, clinically useful configurations emerge in the WISC-R as they do in the WISC.

Kline, Rex B.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1993
This study evaluated the external validity of a measure of IQ subtest variability, the profile variability index (PVI), with a sample of 146 children referred for psychological testing. Correlation of PVIs on each intelligence test with achievement scores and indexes of discrepancy between actual and predicted scholastic achievement found…

Wilson, John D.; Spangler, Paul F. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1974
Eighty-three children (mean age 9 years) with learning disabilities or multiple physical or sensory handicaps were tested using the Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT) and one or more standard measures of intelligence to assess the value of the PIAT as an effective measure and screening device of educational achievement.

Baum, Dale D.; Kelly, Thomas J. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1979
Study involving 300 children investigated the validity of Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) for identifying learning disabled kindergarteners. Ss were given a battery of tests, including Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. Results indicated that SIT greatly overestimates the IQ of kindergarten children with suspected learning…
