Vivo, Juana-Maria; Franco, Manuel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
This article attempts to present a novel application of a method of measuring accuracy for academic success predictors that could be used as a standard. This procedure is known as the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, which comes from statistical decision techniques. The statistical prediction techniques provide predictor models and…

Young, William T. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1973
If one accepts the premise that the criterion measure (Musical Aptitude Profile) is a valid predictor of future musical success, then the Measures of Musical Abilities, based on these data, can be considered to possess a moderately high validity for the same purpose. (Author/CB)

Thorndike, Robert L. – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1986
Analyzed several data sets to compare the prediction possible from a uniform general factor score with that produced by a separately tailored set of regression weights when those weights are applied to a new cross-validation sample. Found that with smaller samples, the uniform general factor score was clearly superior. (Author/ABB)

Branthwaite, Alan; Trueman, Mark – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1985
This paper presents two major criticisms of the construct validity investigation of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities conducted by Watkins and Wiebe (1980). The criticisms pertain to the nature of the data presented and the accuracy and appropriateness of the statistical procedures employed. (BS)

Wilbourn, James M.; Guinn, Nancy – 1973
A battery of 11 nonverbal tests were administered to a sample of 2,362 non-prior service enlistees who had been selected to one of seven technical schools. The usefulness of additional aptitudinal and educational data was also investigated. The number of significant relationships between certain nonverbal tests and final technical school grade…

Humphreys, Lloyd G. – Intelligence, 1978
While the constructs of aptitude and achievement, which are defined as genotypic and environmental constructs, are potentially useful in psychological theory and in the development of predictors, the use of these terms for psychological tests is highly misleading. Implications of this position for group differences in aptitude and construct…

Stanley, Julian C.; Brody, Linda E. – Gifted Child Quarterly, 1989
This article responds to criticisms made in the Ebmeier and Schmulbach study (EC 221 845) of the Scholastic Aptitude Test as used by talent search programs such as the Center for the Advancement of Academically Talented Youth (CTY). The history of CTY's uses of cutoff scores and alternative interpretations of statistics are discussed. (PB)

Swarthout, David; Synk, David J. – 1987
Meta-analytic techniques were used to analyze the effects of age, education, and work experience on General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB) validities and test scores. The sample consisted of 30,568 subjects from 143 Specific Aptitude Test Battery (SATB) validation or revalidation studies analyzed since 1972. The effect of these three variables on…

Fairbank, Benjamin A.; And Others – 1990
Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) scores and final course grades from over 8,000 high school students at 50 schools were gathered to determine the validity of ASVAB Form 14 for the prediction of high school course grades. Grades were collected for courses taken during the academic year in which students were tested on the ASVAB…

Dillon, Ronna F. – 1991
Validity data were collected on tests from five aptitude clusters: information-processing (IP) componential skills, IP metacomponential skills, practical intellectual skills, cognitive flexibility, and cognitive speed. In addition, the IP activities underlying learning were elucidated. IP componential data were derived via two approaches. The…
