This study explores whether or not intelligence tests' scores predict individual differences in scholastic achievement irrespective of SES factors such parents' income and education. The variables of interest are analyzed considering three independent samples of participants comprising a total of 641 children. The participants belonged to a…

This research investigates the effectiveness of the Instrumental Enrichment Approach on the enhancement of the reading comprehension skills of learners with English Language Learning Difficulties. It aims at identifying the reading comprehension skills required for preparatory stage English language learners, re-develop and teach sample materials…

Singaporean Chinese children diagnosed with dysorthographia in English language undergo an intensive spelling intervention program that teaches them to use either of the two spelling methods: lexical and/or phonological spelling strategies. Nevertheless, many of them continue to perform poorly in their spelling. A pretest-posttest experimental…

The relationship between infants' performance on a Piagetian scale between the ages of 12 and 24 months and the infants' scores on the Stanford-Binet at the age of 31 months was assessed. (JMB)

The author examines the relationship of averaged cortical evoked responses and intelligence. The results show there is a small statistically significant relationship but more research is needed before individual prediction can take place. (DE)

Compared the abilities of the most recent editions of the Henmon-Nelson and the Slosson tests to estimate Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Revised) scaled scores and intelligence quotients. The Henmon-Nelson's validity coefficients were higher than their counterparts for the Slosson, but the Slosson had a higher ceiling and a lower floor.…

Analyzed the total number of years of schooling completed against the Verbal IQ (VIQ), Performance IQ (PIQ), and Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) of the 1,880 individuals who were used to standardize the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R). Analysis revealed a progressive increase in mean FSIQ with increasing education. (JAC)

Determined the factoral strucuture of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised in a clinical sample (N=85) receiving vocational counseling and compared this structure to that reported by Silverstein (1982) for the normative group. Results showed a high rate of consistency with those reported by Silverstein. (LLL)

Elementary school children (N=41) were administered Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), and Stanford-Binet. Analyses appeared to support the viability of the K-ABC as measure of the properties of mental functioning that are similar to those measured by WISC-R and…

A study involving 33 children (8-10 years old) found significant relationships between the two tests' full scores. Most of the WJTCA clusters correlated significantly with the WISC-R (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised) verbal scale IQ which suggests a high verbal loading on the WJTCA. (Author/CL)

Developed and tested a short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) in 107 subjects. Results showed that when statistical corrections are made for item overlap between the two forms, the resulting correlation drops to .90 and that similar results were obtained in a cross-validation study. (LLL)

Examines the consequences of regarding Deviation Quotients (DQs) as estimates of Full Scale IQs. Offers a new formula and shows the increase in error to be negligible for short forms with typical validities, which supports linear scaling as an acceptable alternative to linear regression. (LLL)

Reports findings about the relationship between the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC), the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), and the Stanford-Binet for 40 children with no known impairments. The overall results suggested some support for the use of the K-ABC as a measure of intelligence. (BH)
