A study of WISC-R and the Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) reveal that SIT IQs were higher than WISC-R IQs in the upper range and lower in the lower range. Concludes that the SIT provides a good estimate of WISC-R full scale IQs when a regression equation is used. (Author)

The results of this study indicate that the WISC-R IQs are good predictors of achievement. They predict general achievement as represented by the PIAT total score and achievement in specific areas including reading recognition, mathematics, and spelling as measured by the PIAT. (Author)

The Blind Learning Aptitude Test (BLAT), an individual test, is described. Distinction is made between product and process sampling in testing for learning aptitude. Standardized upon 961 educationally blind children, it has high reliability; and its validity, particularly with respect to the more complex school learnings, is clearly indicated.…

Two successive recall tasks and eight ability measures were presented to women of five age groups to investigate the changing relation between performance and ability measures at various stages of the learning process during adulthood. (MS)

Groups of middle-aged and elderly men and women were compared on three problem solving tasks, including written problems, the 20-questions procedure, and problems administered on a Heuristic Evaluation Problem Programmer. (MS)

While overwhelming evidence exists suggesting substantial differences between the motor skills of educably retarded and intellectually normal children, data from this study warn against the universal generalization of depressed motor performance to all educable retardates. (MB)

This research investigates the relationship between creativity as a cognitive process and the level of moral reasoning as well as the relationship between moral reasoning level and various combinations of creativity and intelligence. (Author/RK)

Introverts are supposed to opt for accuracy and extraverts for speed. Attempts to investigate the qualitative differences between extraverts and introverts on an intelligence test.…

The nature of computational linguistics, and formulation of problems in literary analysis to which this approach can be applied, are considered. A review of current work in this field and an illustration of how this work might be used in an analysis of Shakespeare's writing are presented. (RW)

Investigates the relationship of intelligence, sex, and selected home background variables to student perceptions of the high school environment. It also investigates the independence of the Activities Index and the High School Characteristics Index, which are parallel instruments. (Author/IRT)
