Shye, Samuel – American Educational Research Journal, 1980
Guttman Smallest Space Analysis was applied to 51 variables collected on 850 children in 48 Israeli schools, grades 4 through 9. Mapping sentences were derived for defining achievement orientation.

Lee, Seong-Soo – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1979
A set of immediate memory-span tests, concept- and rule-learning tasks, and an IQ test were administered to adolescents. A color-form memory factor and IQ substantially predicted rule-learning proficiency. Effects of memory aids appeared to induce conceptual rules and serve as a base for rehearsing information.

Hancock, Thomas E.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Education, 1996
Study behaviors common to elementary school students were incorporated into a questionnaire administered to 793 fourth and sixth graders.

The relationship of multiple-choice and free-response items on the College Board's Advanced Placement Computer Science Examination was studied using confirmatory factor analysis. Results with 2 samples of 1,000 high school students suggested that the most parsimonious fit was achieved using a single factor. Implications for construct validity are…

Abrami, Philip C.; d'Apollonia, Sylvia – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1991
Limitations of the confirmatory factor analysis conducted by H. W. Marsh to demonstrate the multidimensionality of a rating form to assess student evaluation of teaching effectiveness are discussed. A secondary analysis suggests that dimensionality is not stable across solutions and a global factor can be retrieved. (SLD)
