Results of this study suggest that children (ages 6-16) with a sufficient number of emotional indicators (three or more) to create a suspicion of emotional disturbance do not recall significantly fewer Bender designs than do children whose indicators fall within normal limits. (Author/SJL)

This study assessed the utility of Bannatyne's recategorization of the WISC-R with a group of 97 adjudicated adolescents who varied in intelligence. Findings affirmed the extension of Bannatyne's recategorization to samples other than genetic dyslexics and supported his major hypothesis of stronger spatial than sequential abilities. (Author/SJL)

Inter-rater reliability of the Goodenough-Harris and McCarthy Draw-A-Child scoring systems was examined for a sample of 60 children, including 20 school-labeled learning disabled, 20 mentally retarded, and 20 normal children between the ages of six and eight-and-one-half years. (Author)

Adults took the Rod and Frame, Portable Rod and Frame, and Embedded Figures Tests. Absolute and algebraic frame-effect scores were more reliable and valid than rod-effect algebraic scores. Correlations with the Embedded Figures Test were so low that the interchangeability of these field articulation measures is questionable. (Author/RD)

Techniques for obtaining time perspective data were examined. Undergraduates responded to a questionnaire containing one of three formats for reporting anticipated future life-events, varying in structure imposed on respondents. Temporal estimates of life-event occurence were coded using two procedures, both permitting a near and a far value.…

Elementary teacher candidates were pretested and posttested with the Graves Design Judgment Test. Of five approaches to analyzing change, only one, a transformation of posttest divided by pretest expressed in percentage, yielded significance. The hypothesis that a sculpture workshop and field experience would result in greater gains was not…
