The consistency by which shared abilities are assessed on three intelligence tests was investigated. Instruments under consideration include: the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition. A list of shared abilities and the subtests…

The Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test and the Slosson Intelligence Test-Revised were administered in counterbalanced order to a sample of 32 school identified gifted and talented students (18 males and 14 females). Mean age was 11 years, 3 months. The K-BIT IQ Composite and SIT-R Total Standard Score produced a correlation of .61 (p < .001).…

The Stanford-Binet (Fourth Edition) (S-B:FE) and Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) were administered in counterbalanced order to a sample of 30 non-handicapped, preschool children (13 males and 17 females). The children ranged in age from 3 years 11 months to 6 years 2 months, with a mean age of 4 years 11 months. Mean scores on the…

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III and the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test were administered in counterbalanced order to a sample of 39 school identified students (28 males and 11 females) with learning disabilities. Mean age was 9 years, 3 months. The WISC-III Full Scale IQ and K-BIT IQ Composite produced a correlation of .74 (p…

This study investigates the validity of the Stanford Binet Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition (S-B:4) for use with students with learning disabilities. It compares the performance of 18 elementary-age students on the S-B:4 and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC). The subjects were identified by their school as having learning…

This study compares the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) profiles of successful and unsuccessful preschoolers with learning disabilities. Subjects, 40 preschool students, were tested at the beginning and at the end of the preschool year and were placed into repeating or…

The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) and the Stanford-Binet: Fourth Edition (S-B:FE) were administered in counterbalanced order to a sample of 20 middle-class preschool children (11 males and 9 females) attending the Early Childhood Preschool Center located in a suburban area of a large midwestern city. Subjects' mean age was 4…

The Stanford-Binet: Fourth Edition and Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children were administered in counterbalanced order followed by the Cognitive Domain of the Battelle Developmental Inventory to a sample of 30 nonhandicapped, preschool children (13 males and 17 females). Correlations (corrected for restriction in range) among the three…

This study examined agreement rates between identified strengths and weaknesses in shared abilities and influences on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC). Sixty-seven students in the first through seventh grades referred for learning disabilities (LD) evaluation were…

The test-retest reliability of the American Guidance Service (AGS) Early Screening Profiles (ESP)--a battery measuring development in the cognition/language, motor, and self-help/social areas--was examined. The ESP is a nationally normed screening battery for children ages 2 years 0 months through 6 years 11 months. In addition, parent and teacher…

The stability of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) was studied by examining its performance over a 5-year interval with 16 non-handicapped children aged 45 to 61 months at the beginning of the study. Global scale stability coefficients (corrected for restriction in range) for Time 1 testing (age 4 years) and Time 4 testing (age 9…
