Administered the Stanford-Binet, Fourth Edition, to 31 mentally retarded adolescents who had previously been tested with the Stanford-Binet, L-M, with a mean interval between testings of 17.3 months. Found an intertest correlation of .86 and a median intelligence quotient change of three points in either direction. Compatability of scores supports…

Administered Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition and Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children to 40 referred children. Correlation coefficients computed between two tests were strong, suggesting consistency in underlying global construct being measured; however, no compelling evidence supporting theoretical structure of two scales was…

Administered the Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) to 92 preschool children. Administered the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale to a sample of the group, and the results were compared to the results from the SIT. Results indicated the SIT overestimated the performance of average preschool children. (Author)

Examined concurrent validity of Nonvocal Cognitive Quotient (NVCQ) of Cognitive Abilities Scale (CAS) and Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition (Binet IV) for two and three year olds. Found adequate concurrent validity for CAS NVCQ and Binet IV Verbal Comprehension at both age levels as well as for Nonverbal Reasoning/Visualization…

Examined concurrent validity of Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, 4th edition (SB IV) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) in a homogeneous, nonexceptional sample of 32 early elementary school children. Findings suggest that SB IV has significant positive relationship with WISC-R. The tests displayed a moderate level…

Investigated validity of Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition and Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children with 89 preschool Head Start children from low-income families, using Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale-Form LM as criterion measure. Found some support for concurrent and construct validity of both instruments for use with…

Higher mean IQ scores were obtained on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) compared to the revised version (WISC-R). The WISC-R had a facilitative effect on the WISC that did not appear when the WISC was administered first. Differences in instructions may have enhanced the practice effect. (Author/JAC)

Compared area scores from short-form version of Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test (Fourth) with those from long form for 33 gifted children. Found three of five mean difference contrasts were significantly different and correlation coefficients between corresponding area scores and Test Composite were statistically significant. Suggests that…
