Peer reviewedWorrell, Frank C.; Vandiver, Beverly J.; Watkins, Marley W. – Psychology in the Schools, 2001
Examines the factor structure of the Learning Behavior Scale (LBS) in a sample of 257 elementary school students. Results indicate that the internal consistency of the total LBS scores were high enough for individual decision making, whereas the reliability estimates of scores on the Attention/Persistence and Strategy/Flexibility subscales were…

Peer reviewedWatkins, Marley W.; Canivez, Gary L. – Psychology in the Schools, 2001
Analyzes the longitudinal factor structure of the WISC-III for both configural and metric invariance with a group of 177 students with disabilities. Concludes that the WISC-III measures the same constructs with equal fidelity across time which allows unequivocal interpretation of score differences as reflecting changes in underlying latent…

Examines the construct validity of a scale for 7-year-old children and analyzes the degree of factorial similarity between this analysis and another study performed on 4-year-old children. Results indicate that the cognitive abilities measured by the scale become more general with age and the level of schooling. (RJM)
