The "Complementary Sheet" is applicable to Wechsler Scales: WBI, WBII, WISC, and WAIS. It consists of two sides of one sheet and has space for data collection of Picture Arrangement, Block Design, Object Assembly, and Digit Symbol or Coding. It lends itself well to an analysis of the means, not just the end result, of an examinee's…

The simplicity of standard score systems, percentile equivalents, and their relation to the ideal normal distribution are discussed and illustrated. Standard scores are z-scores, the T-scores, College Entrance Examination Board scores, and Army General Classification Test scores. A derivative of the general standard score system is the stanine…

A series of studies were conducted to determine how Army personnel in Mental Category IV and in other mental categories compare in their job performance and in their overall suitability for military service. Information is provided concerning the demands for reading, arithmetic, and listening skills in four major military occupational specialties.…

Three systems for defining cognitive abilities, proposed by Guilford, Guttman, and the Thurstones, are examined as bases for specifying reference tests for cognitive abilities. The authors propose the cognition of concepts system as a fourth alternative. Tests constructed and/or adapted on the basis of this examination are described. (Author)

The primary aim of these five technical papers is to indicate aspects of proof theory which may be of use in the study of non-numerical computing. The three main papers are entitled: "Checking of Computer Programs;""Consistency Proofs and Programs for Translators;" and "Experiments with Computers on the Complexity of Non-numerical computations."…

The past 20 years have seen a resurgence of interest on the part of psychologists in what used to be called "the higher mental processes," with the difference that while the earlier workers were concerned with the power of reasoning, recent interest has centered upon the use of language. The scope of the material that has appeared is frequently…

The Slosson Intelligence Test, unlike most current measures of intelligence, uses a ratio method of mental age divided by chronological age to obtain an IQ score. Standard deviations are not stable across age levels. It is concluded that the Slosson is inappropriate for use in the diagnosis of mental retardation. (Author)

The Michigan Gender Identity Test (MGIT) was administered to 52 retarded children (three to ten years old) and 36 normal children (two to five years old) to assess the acquisition of gender identity. (Author)

The pilot study investigates a method by which blind individuals might administer an abbreviated form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. (Author/SBH)

Various testing-the-limits procedures were employed in administering the Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices test to 108 subjects with learning difficulties (age range 8.4 to 12.9 years). (Author)

Two groups of children of the same biological mothers were compared. The study found that the adopted children failure rates are far below those of the control group, and almost equal to those expected solely on the basis of the social class of their adoptive parents. (Author/GA)

Examines the correlation between reflection-impulsivity scores on the Matching Familiar Figures (MFF) test and scores on the WISC and CTMM intelligence tests. Subjects were 53 ten-year-old girls. Results were discussed in terms of certain characteristics of the tests used and in terms of the age of the subjects. (BD)

This study explored the relationships among children's performance on a simplified version of Kagan's Matching Familiar Figures (MFF) Test of conceptual tempo, their IQ, their performance on several measures of self-regulatory behavior, and their general activity level. Subjects were 55 preschool boys and girls. (Author/JMB)

Investigates the effects on young male students of differing social backgrounds and varying levels of intelligence, of seeing a peer misbehave. Notes that working class boys imitated the misbehaving model significantly more than middle-class boys. Level of intelligence was not found to relate to the amount a student imitated a misbehaving peer.…
