Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) test-retest data with a six-month interval were obtained for 45 normal l0-year-old children. Verbal IQ estimates were stable, but significant practice effects were obtained on performance and full scale IQ estimates. Discussion focused on test readministration. (Author/RL)

Reviewed are several studies which demonstrate how artificial intelligence techniques can be applied in the design of end user-oriented interfaces (which would eliminate the need for an intermediary) to existing online systems, as well as in the development of future generations of online systems intended for the end user.

One hundred deaf children with deaf parents performed significantly better than 100 deaf children with hearing parents on all performance subtest of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. (CL)

This study shows measured intelligence to be the best long-range predictor of success in university. Variables of age, sex, religious affiliation, marital status, type of living accommodation, and distance commuted to school account for 19 percent of variance. Implications of these results and their comparison to previous research are discussed.…

Compared the SIT with the WISC-R for a group of intellectually gifted students. Results indicated reduced correlations between the measures. (Author)

The study compared the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery Tests of Cognitive Ability and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised for a sample of 51 learning disabled children (7-11 years old). (Author/SBH)

Problem solving performance of individuals was compared with that of dyads at three levels of mental ability using a computer-based inquiry into the riddle of the frozen Wooly Mammoth. Results indicated significant interactions between grouping and mental ability for certain problem solving internal measures. (RAO)

The extent to which IQ scores can be influenced by the administrative method used was investigated with 101 children (6 to 16 years old) with behavioral and emotional difficulties. Findings demonstrated a strong relationship between WISC-R test scores and administrative procedures. (SBH)

The study was designed to investigate scatter produced by 105 learning disabled (LD) children (6 to 16 years old) and to compare Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) scatter with that produced by A. Kaufman's (1976) normal population. Range of scaled scores (i.e., scatter) was significantly greater for the LD group. (SBH)

Assessed the effects of two different kinds of blank-trial problems for hypotheses upon performance of normal and retarded children of mental age levels 5 1/2 and 7 1/2. The probes varied legitimate and illegitimate position-oriented response sets. (Author/SS)

Investigates whether several factors (intelligence, political liberalism, and altruistic behavior) previously found to be related to prohibition moral reasoning (about issues involving laws, rules, authorities, and formal obligations) are also associated with level of prosocial moral reasoning. Students in grades 9, 11, and 12 were tested.…

This study suggests that the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and the Slosson Intelligence Test measure different and limited aspects of a child's ability and are only rough estimates of his/her capability of what is generally termed intelligence. Scores from either should be interpreted with care and in light of other information about a child.…

Children referred for psychological evaluation had been administered the Rorschach test and the WISC-R, among other tests, for diagnostic purposes. Significant relationships were found between groups for some variables after which prediction formulas were developed for estimates and use of verbal terminology associated with IQ levels. (Author)

The relationships among perceptual field independence, biological sex, sex-role identity, self-esteem, and intelligence were explored in tests measuring these variables which were administered to 50 male and 50 female college students. (Author/PHR)
