The study involving 145 students (5-13 years old) referred for psychological evaluation explored the consequences of retesting upon student placement and the changes in test results. (SBH)

The apparent stability of the three-factor solution across sex and age supports the interpretation that Wechsler Intelligence Scale For Children-Revised (WISC-R) factor scores are independent of child's sex and age. Construct validity is documented across numerous demographic variables. (Author)

An eight-week program designed to stimulate fluency, flexibility, and originality proved effective in enhancing the creative thinking skills of 23 fourth grade students. Significant correlations were found to exist between IQ and creativity and between reading achievement and creativity. (GT)

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) protocols of 55 children (5 to 17 years old) referred for academic problems were examined using a factor-score approach in terms of clusters of subtests hypothesized to reflect functional differences in learning styles. (Author/SBH)

Forty hearing impaired children (6 to 16 years old) attending public schools were administered the Wechsler Intellience Scale for Children (WISC) and WISC-Revised (WISC-R) performance scales. Performance IQs for each IQ measure were correlated with reading achievement and found nonsignificant; however, IQs converted to mental age produced positive…

Special aptitude scores of 84 tenth-grade educable mentally handicapped (EMH) students were obtained with the Nonreading Aptitude Test Battery while intelligence was quantified with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised. It was concluded that EMH students possess a variety of special aptitudes which could broaden their vocational…

The relationship between teacher-perceived brightness/dullness and classroom interactions was investigated with 96 intermediate-grade children. Positive interactions were distributed unevenly between "bright" and "dull" children; no differences were indicated in the distributions of negative and neutral interactions.…

An information-processing analysis of intelligence proposed by Eysenck and Furneaux was examined in an experimental study of semantic categorization and free recall by 11-year-old children of varying intelligence. Results, and implications of the results, are discussed. (Author/KC)

A study of the cognitive and academic skills of an agency's foster children indicated that the general level of functioning was similar to that of low-income and minority children living with their own families. (Author/DB)

Relationships between the McCarthy General Cognitive Index and WISC-R Full Scale IQ with the Wide Range Achievement reading scores were explored with a sample of 20 educable mentally retarded and 20 learning disabled children, ages six to nine. (Author/SJL)

Examines electronic aids to translation both as ways to automate it and as an approach to solve problems resulting from shortage of qualified translators. Describes the limitations of robotic MT (Machine Translation) systems, viewing MAT (Machine-Aided Translation) as the only practical solution and the best vehicle for further automation. (MES)

A sample of 201 high school students was given a battery of 27 ability tests strategically chosen to provide composite measures of 12 primary mental abilities selected to indicate second-order abilities known as fluid intelligence (Gf), crystallized intelligence (Gc), and short-term acquisition retrieval (SAR). (Author/GK)

Tests of intelligence, music audiation, auditory conservation, and visual conservation were administered to two first-grade classes. Data revealed that auditory conservation isn't significantly related to visual conservation but is significantly related to music aptitude, to IQ, and to the interaction of music aptitude and IQ. Instructional…

A longitudinal study of 214 rubella deaf children (13 to 14 years old) revealed a low incidence (10%) of neurologica damage among those with normal intelligence, but a high incidence (51% to 70%) among those who were mentally retarded or blind. (Author)

Theoretical predictions, based on the confluence model, were made for data from six national surveys of intellectual performance, each relating intellectual performance scores to family configuration variables. The confluence model was capable of accurate prediction in all cases when three parameters were estimated. (Author/RD)
