The author reviews and expands the work of J. Boyd (EC 062 111) on the use of the Slosson Intelligence Test scored according to Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children categories for children who may need special education. (CL)

From the results of this pilot study it was suggested that intellectual abilities of epileptic children as measured by the verbal WISC and visual perception as measured by the Frostig are both influenced by the same contingencies. (Author)

Findings supported the existence of an intelligence threshold for creativity, above which creativity is not related to intelligence; and demonstrated that androgyny is a significant correlate of creativity above that intelligence threshold. (SBH)

Summarizes the role of student models in computer assisted learning (CAL); lists difficulties preventing their widespread use in practical teaching systems; and describes problems, using a simple subtraction model, associated with the representation, content, creation, change, growth, execution, comparison, use for planning and monitoring, and…

Discusses a number of issues raised in Brody's analysis of ability measurements based on the triarchic theory of successful intelligence, such as restriction of range, obtained variance attributed to "g," and aptitude-treatment interactions. (SLD)

Makes the case that creativity differs from general intelligence and that teaching in a way that encourages and rewards creativity can improve school performance. It is also argued that children can learn to make certain kinds of decisions that will enhance their creativity. (SLD)

In three experiments, differences in EEG alpha activity between 30 gifted and 30 average individuals were studied. Results support the hypothesis that higher alpha power during information processing displayed by gifted individuals may derive from the nonuse of many brain areas not required for the problem at hand. (SLD)

Data on specific cognitive abilities for 86 children ages 6 to 12 from an allelic association study found three DNA markers significantly associated with specific cognitive ability scales after the effects of general intelligence were removed. These preliminary results support the hierarchical model predicted by genetic research. (SLD)

Analysis of two sets of National Longitudinal Survey data found that intelligence had a strong negative effect on intrinsic satisfaction, little effect on pay satisfaction, and positive association with desired job complexity, not expected pay. Education had a strong negative effect on pay satisfaction, little effect on intrinsic satisfaction, and…

Delineates artificial intelligence/expert systems (AI/ES) concepts; provides an exposition of some business application areas; relates progress; and creates an awareness of the benefits, limitations, and reservations of AI/ES. (Author)

The study compared the performance of 18 elementary-age students with learning disabilities on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children. Correlations (corrected for restriction of range) between the two instruments were strong. (Author/DB)

This curriculum unit discusses the history of programing languages, emphasizing the newer fourth- and fifth-generation languages that are increasingly human-like in their intelligence. Fourth-generation languages and knowledge-based systems are discussed at length. (CH)

The use of "intelligence" in ordinary discourse is analyzed to glean hypotheses that may resolve the debate among psychologists regarding the nature of intelligence. Intelligence is conceived as an innate intellectual capacity, and a sharp conceptual distinction is made between intelligence and intelligent behavior. (Author/TJH)

Studied whether Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition corresponds to theory that guided its construction, using first-order confirmatory factor analysis with entire standardization sample and three age groups. Results generally support the four factors as reflecting the underlying structure of the new Binet, but were less supportive of…

Presents a recent history of the public controversy concerning academic aptitude/intelligence tests. Offers suggestions about test technology and research that may influence public interest groups to develop a better perspective. Urges better cooperation between professional and public interest groups. (Author/ABL)
