Intelligence-Related Differences in Semantic Processing Speed.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Davies, Deborah; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1981
Educable mentally retarded (EMR) and nonretarded (NR) adolescents verified superordinate and basic level descriptions of common objects. Results suggest that EMR subjects had difficulty making semantic classification decisions in general. Other results suggest that group differences in semantic processing speed were related to the deliberate…

Prediction of Reading Comprehension: Relative Contributions of Word Recognition, Language Proficiency, and Other Cognitive Skills Can Depend on How Comprehension Is Measured
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cutting, Laurie E.; Scarborough, Hollis S. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2006
Reading comprehension scores from the Wechsler Individual Achievement Tests, the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test, and the Gray Oral Reading Test were examined in relation to measures of reading, language, and other cognitive skills that have been hypothesized to contribute to comprehension and account for comprehension differences. In a sample of 97…

Detection of Stimulus Organization: Evidence of Intelligence-Related Differences.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Soraci, Sal A., Jr.; And Others – Intelligence, 1990
Detection differences between 16 mildly mentally retarded and 14 nonretarded students aged about 16 years were studied via the presentation of high, intermediate, and low stimulus organizations of target and distractor stimuli. Implications for explaining intelligence-related differences across a range of tasks are discussed. (SLD)

Intelligence in Hong Kong Measured for Spearman's "g" and the Visuospatial and Verbal Primaries.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lynn, Richard; And Others – Intelligence, 1988
Major visuospatial and verbal abilities were assessed for 197 10-year-olds in Hong Kong and 170 10-year-olds in the United Kingdom. The Hong Kong subjects resembled their Japanese counterparts in having high Searman's "g," exhibiting abstract reasoning ability, high spatial ability, high perceptual speed, and low word fluency.

A Study of the Relative Effectiveness of Non-Graded and Graded Instruction in the First Six Years of Elementary Schooling. Final Report.
Yarborough, Betty H.; And Others – 1976
An experimental group of 51 students from non-graded and three matched groups of 187 pupils from graded programs were studied to determine the relative effectiveness of non-graded and graded approaches to elementary education and whether any differences found at the end of six years of schooling remained after both groups had been exposed to a…
