A general theoretical rationale is outlined for identifying different kinds of traits, states and function fluctuations of intelligence, providing a basis for developing a set of mathematical procedures which would allow for some separation of traits and states, both seen as patterns of distinct but covarying processes.

It was concluded that while retinoblastoma per se is not associated with intellectual superiority or inferiority, retinoblastoma associated with blindness may result in selective cognitive superiority. (Authors)

Split-half reliability, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity, with the WISC as a criterion of the Long and Short Forms of the French Pictorial Test of Intelligence, were compared, using kindergarten and second grade samples. Reliability and validity coefficients for The Short Form did not differ significantly from the Long Form.…

The author blames the use of group intelligence tests and the subsequent reliance on I.Q. for the lack of attention given to individual differences, in particular the characteristics of the disadvantaged child. (BY)

No reliable IQ differences were found when the Stanford-Binet was administered to 100 4-year-old Negro children under two conditions of language (Standard English and Negro dialect) and two conditions of reinforcement (praise and candy). (Author/WY)

Analysis of the mental factors of seventh grade students indicates that numerical facility and perceptual speed are a single factor at this age level and that no purely verbal factor exists. Seven clearly differentiated factors are found for males and five for females. (Author/WY)

The main purpose of this investigation was to study the impact of kindergarten upon the IQ test performance of young children. Results indicate that kindergarten experience has a positive influence upon test performance. (Author)

Based on the author's PhD dissertation (University of California, Los Angeles).

This paper presents a description of four schools of thought on the nature of intelligence, some findings that have emerged from them, and an indication of how these findings reveal a common core of generalizations across the various schools. (Author/SJL)

Evaluated the ability of the Wonderlic Personnel Test to replicate the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) with (N=120) normal persons divided into principal and cross-validation groups. Correlations between the Wonderlic IQs and the WAIS Full Scale IQs were .93 for the main group and .91 for the cross-validation group. (Author)
