While stepwise regression analyses revealed that the demographic variables of sex, school ability, age, and father's occupation increased the power of prediction the LTIT alone was judged to be a valid predictor of academic achievement. (Author)

Presented is a rationale for producing intelligent behavior through operant conditioning rather than predicting it by means of standardized intelligence tests which are said to require circumstances explicitly precluding intervention. (GW)

The findings suggest that objective tests of motivation add considerably to the prediction of achievement. (Author)

The main effects and interactions of different methods of giving student IQ information to teachers (including the self-fulfilling prophesy hypothesis of Rosenthal's "Pygmalion in the Classroom"), sex of teacher, teacher opinion of IQ testing, and student socioeconomic level are investigated. (DG)

After administration of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) to 120 adolescents, it was found that higher scores were produced on the WAIS in the group with less than average intelligence, and by the WISC in the other groups. (Author/KJ)

It was hypothesized that WISC subtests lend themselves to highly objective scoring and therefore ratings would be highly comparable. Results revealed discrepancies between raters. (Author)

Suggestions and recommendations are made for using the Perkins-Binet Tests of Intelligence for the Blind for low vision and blind children. Suggestions cover such aspects as organization and preparation prior to administration and scoring. (CL)

Two studies investigated the effects of administration modifications on subtest scaled scores of the Wechsler-Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R). Performance scale rated different groups of 57 severely/profoundly hearing-impaired children. Total communication was found to result in higher scores on all subtests in the genetic and…
