Presents validity and reliability findings for Thurstone's Color-Word Test and Voth's Autokinetic Test and suggests procedures that save testing time. (MB)

The present study was aimed at developing a method for the transformation of Bender performance into scaled score equivalents and at testing the validity of such scaled score equivalents. The use of scaled scores permits a more direct comparison between Bender performance and performance on measures of intellectual ability. (Author)

Deaf elementary school children were administered the Leiter International Performance Scale and the five nonauditory, nonverbal subtests of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities. The intellectual quotient derived from the Leiter and the psycholinguistic quotient derived from the five visually oriented subtests were then correlated. The…

This article reviews and critiques studies involving the WISC with samples of blind subjects. Discussion focuses on reliability, validity, and research strategy. Recommendations and suggestions for further research place emphasis upon experimental analysis of behavior. (Author)

This study examined the extent to which the Auditory Association subtest of the revised Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA) measures the ability of children to complete verbal analogies. (Author)

The usefulness of certain psychological tests administered during infancy for the prediction of intelligence test performance during early childhood was the focus of this investigation. (Authors)

THE COGNITIVE AND PSYCHO-SOCIAL FUNCTIONING OF FOUR CATEGORIES OF GIFTED CHILDREN WAS STUDIED. TWO GROUPS OF ADOLESCENTS SHOWING DIFFERENT TYPES OF COGNITIVE EXCELLENCE (INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVITY) AND TWO GROUPS EXHIBITING DIFFERENT TYPES OF PSYCHOSOCIAL EXCELLENCE (MORALITY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ADJUSTMENT) WERE INVESTIGATED USING A WIDE VARIETY OF…

Found subjects of varying levels of neuropsychological impairment, administered revised Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R), obtained significantly lower Full Scale, Verbal, and Performance Intelligence Quotients (IQs) than did subjects administered original, full version WAIS. Indicated significant main effects for level of impairment for…

A cross-sectional, stratified random sample of 1,891 male and female adolescents (age range from 12 years 6 months to 17 years 6 months) was tested in 1970 with the Grades 9-12 form of the Primary Mental Abilities test. (Editor)

The California Psychological Inventory includes a masculinity femininity measure, Fe. Although the test author suggests that Fe is positively related to intelligence for females but negatively for males, a review of the literature fails to substantiate this claim. Correlation of Fe and intellectual measures is low in magnitude and is not different…

This study questions the use of a general IQ score as a basis for conclusions relating to studies of intelligence, especially with minority children. Instead, it looks at item-responses from Stanford-Binet tests. Using Guilford's Structure of Intellect Model applied to organismic responses, the authors tallied the item responses. (Author/LA)

This study attempts to raise and answer the question as to whether lateral specialization of the brain could explain some of the differences in persons at different stages of intellectual development from birth to adulthood according to Piaget's theory of individual development via sequential, qualitatively different stages.…

Comparison of a standardized production format measure, the Measure of Epistemological Reflection and an open-ended interview resulted in a high positive correlation to support the potential of standardized assessment of intellectual development. (Author/KS)
