An analysis of changes in CA, MA, and IQ in 324 patients, representative of the population of a hospital for mentally retarded, indicated that the decrement in IQ in mentally retarded children is due primarily to increases in CA and not to decreases in MA. It appears that MA is the more meaningful index of intelligence level. (Author/WY)

The purpose of the study was to determine whether WPPSI is a valid and reliable instrument for the measurement of the intelligence of children whose scores fall within the upper range as measured by the Stanford-Binet. The results of this study indicated that there was only a moderate relationship between the two. (Author)

Using 72 lower class children, concurrent validity of the WPPSI was studied using the Stanford-Binet as the criterion. Correlations between SB and WPPSI were moderately high. Among the WPPSI subtests, Vocabulary was significantly lower than all other subtests. The only significant sexual difference favored females on Similarities. (Author)

Evaluates Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) as a rapidly administrable test of intelligence. The PPVT and Doppelt Short Form of the WAIS were given to 150 outpatients. Results suggest clinicians should be cautious in making decisions about patients on the basis of PPVT scores. (Author)

Computed confidence intervals for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised for the Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQ scores. Reports IQ intervals for the 85 percent, 90 percent, 95 percent, and 99 percent levels of confidence for each of the nine standardization sample age groups and the entire sample. (Author)

Examined the extent of examiner error during administration of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) by practicing school psychologists and school psychology students eligible for state certification as psychometrists. A number of examiner item scoring and administration errors were observed for numerous subtests. (RC)

The principal finding of an analysis of two sets of data obtained from a sample of approximately 6,200 men is the absence of a negative relationship between parental intelligence test scores and number of offspring. Available from North-Holland Publishing Company, P.O. Box 211, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. (Author/MLF)

Skemp's new model of understanding in learning is described and explained. (MK)

A program written in BASIC that produces a 20-item mathematics test is given. (MK)

A WAIS short form, consisting of the Similarities, Picture Arrangement, and Block Design subtests, was administered to 109 undergraduates. Correlation between these scores and their Full Scale WAIS IQ scores was .90. The subtests underestimated IQ by 9.29 points, suggesting that the constant be adjusted for this population. (SJL)

Results indicated two broad factors of intelligence, interpreted as fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence, coordinated with two broad factors of short-term learning, interpreted as indicating primary memory and secondary acquisition. (Author/RC)

Results from 1,297 adolescents and adults show that, consistent with hypothesized relationships, people classified as Intuitive by the MBTI earned higher KAIT Composite IQs than those classified as Sensing. However, most other hypotheses were not supported, as the Fluid-Crystallized discrepancy was not meaningfully related to any MBTI dimension.…
