Preliminary factor analyses of predictor tests in advantaged and disadvantaged groups is recommended as a way of forming a priori expectations concerning validities of the predictors to guide both use and research. (Authors)

Nonverbal cues which enthnographic analysis suggested were central to communicating personal warmth to Indian and Eskimo adolescents did produce significant changes on intelligence test performance. (Author/KM)

The dissimilarity between the black and the white voices failed to affect the IQ scores of black children, but it appeared to be an important variable with regard to the IQ test performance of white children. (Author)

This study explored the possibility of using musicality and intelligence test scores to predict the potential success of pupils in choir instead of the usual methods of audition and observation. It also ivestigated the extent, if any, of teacher bias in the evaluation of pupil achievement. (Author/RK)

Studied was the effect of an art specialist on an art curriculum for retarded preschoolers. (Author)

To reduce the cost of in-the-school experiment, this study, which is an attempt to quantify redundancy in a learning situation, was carried out using a numerical procedure. The variables include student I.Q., lesson time, wasted time, teacher experience, and redundancy. (Author/CB)

The evidence of this study suggests that it is useful to think of creativity and intelligence as the outgrowths of distinct (although overlapping) sets of influences, even when this is not well indicated by discriminant-convergent validation analyses carried out with respect to tests (in contrast to factors). (Authors)

Article shows how intelligence, readiness and achievement tests can be put to work in the classroom-not only as diagnostic tools but as aids in prescribing cures for learning problems. (Author)

Since all of the children represented in this study are now in the first grade, results appear to indicate that gains accrued during the Head Start experience have some degree of stability. The level of significance was well beyond the possibility of the findings having occurred by mere chance. (Authors)

Findings lend support for further development of the Manikin Construction Task for the purpose of measuring specific conceptual knowledge at all ages. There is also support for its development as an intellectual screening instrument at the 3-year level. (Author)

Intelligence variables were found to be good predictors of recall performance at later stages of acquisition under delayed recall, while under immediate recall, memory variables predicted recall performance best at early stages of acquisition. (Authors)

Retired vice-president of Educational Testing Service asserts that chances for tests being misused are greater than ever. Speech delivered at ETS's Invitational Conference on Testing Problems on October 28, 1972, in New York, New York. (DS)

In this essay, the authors question the undisputed assumption underlying both sides of the IQ controversy in the United States: that IQ is of basic importance to economic success. Instead, social class background is the key factor. (DM)

Physical science curriculum materials were developed for below-average students based on guidelines for science teaching. These materials were tested in three ninth and tenth grade classrooms. Results showed significant improvement in students' attitudes toward the science class and laboratory. (PS)
