Martin, Stewart – Teaching and Teacher Education: An International Journal of Research and Studies, 2010
The proliferation of instruments reporting learning/cognitive style with school pupils is of particular interest, because most research on them focuses on applications in higher education, training and the adult workplace, where criticisms of their integrity, reliability and validity have been significant. This study examines two such popular…

Strommen, Erik – Journal of School Psychology, 1988
Performed confirmatory factor analyses of Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) using subtest correlations for standardization samples provided in manuals to test hypothesis that factors underlying K-ABC are substantially intercorrelated at all age levels for two- and three-factor models. Findings suggest K-ABC cannot distinguish between…

A battery of nine cognitive abilities tests to assess verbal, spatial, perceptual speed, and memory abilities in children at age four was constructed and administered to a sample of 267 children in the Colorado Adoption Project. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed four correlated factors that adequately describe the covariation…

Coffman, William E. – 1986
Three new tests presented as alternatives to the Wechsler tests for children were described in earlier papers of this session. This discussion reviews the earlier papers and comments on the developed tests: (1) the Woodcock-Johnson test; (2) the new Stanford-Binet; and (3) the K-ABC. The Woodcock-Johnson battery, state-of-the-art applications of…

The premise of this project was to reveal the differences in job-style requirements by using a technique called cognitive-style mapping, the thesis being that each job or occupation requires a person having a particular cognitive style system compatible with the job style or requirements. Cognitive style mapping is a technique used to assess an…

Sisto, Fermino Fernandes – Child Study Journal, 2000
Examined validity of use of human figure drawing to evaluate cognitive development status using Piagetian tasks with 7- to 11-year-olds. Found that scores for children's drawings of a man and a woman correlated significantly with mental imaging, conservation of mass, and conservation of length, suggesting the possibility of finding patterns to…

Kalyan-Masih, Violet – 1975
In a pilot study of children's drawings of "a house with a tree behind it," Piagetian sequence (scribbling, fortuitous realism, failed realism, intellectual realism, and visual realism) was tentatively supported. Children's strategies in decentering from intellectual to visual realism were noted. The study reported in this paper was…
