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).

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)

Results showed significant improvement in students' attitudes toward the science class and laboratory. (PS)

Paternal nurturance and some of its components were correlated significantly and positively with the children's IQ scores in the retesting, suggesting that these paternal behaviors may foster cognitive development. Indications were also found that other paternal behaviors may affect the intellectual growth of the child. (Author)

The SIT Correlates highly enough with ACT scores to be considered a valid instrument for predicting acceptance and success in college. (Authors)

Previously tested 5th and 6th graders in the two-year follow-up sample continued to respond associatively on the Children's Associative Responding Test, indicating stability in response patterns. Test-retest reliability of the number of errors was high. (Author/WY)
