The results of this experiment clearly indicate that the presence of induced anxiety in a testing situation can depress the subject's level of performance on the WISC. (Author)

University instructors should provide more careful checks and feedback to students who are learning to do intelligence testing. It also is important for supervisors in service facilities to monitor tests that provide bases for crucial decisions about children. Intelligence test scores relate to many other variables. Improperly trained examiners…

A potpourri of comments on educational developments, humor, America's leading intellectuals, and books for vacation reading. (RK)

Science education research, as well as science curriculum development, has concentrated on the intelligent student, to the unjustifiable neglect of average and below-average ability students. (AL)

The results suggest that inexperienced undergraduate examiners trained to administer WISC subtests under anxious and nonanxious roles do not differ significantly either on the overall scores they obtain or on the scores obtained in a standard administration condition and one designed to convey anxiety.

Findings highlight a general consideration for developmental research: namely, whether CA or MA is the more appropriate developmental parameter. (Authors)

The initial purpose of this study was to determine how counselors used information yielded by multifactor intelligence tests. Data, however, revealed enormous percentages of nonclassifiable responses regarding these tests. The findings seemed to indicate a tendency on the part of counselor educators to downgrade the importance of accurate test…

Conclusions are that (a) the addition of reinforcements to a regular classroom curriculum results in improved performance for many students, and (b) improvement is positively related to IQ. (Author/MB)

Between-scale correlations indicate that both tests provide similar measures of intellectual performance, but because of the discrepancy in mean IQ scores of the WPPSI and WISC, comparisons should be confined to within-test contrasts. (Author)
