Ambivalence, as assessed by the described modification of the semantic differential technique, was a predictor of predictability. (Author/CB)

The usefulness of certain psychological tests administered during infancy for the prediction of intelligence test performance during early childhood was the focus of this investigation. (Authors)

The usual finding of superior recognition memory for rare items was observed. (Authors)

Results in this study suggest that it is possible to use performance on a moderator or predictability scale to select a subgroup for whom correspondence between two predictors and the criterion is much greater than that of a subgroup whose scores on the moderator indicate a lesser degree of correspondence.

Investigated elements of cognitive style that might predict leadership style. Compared balanced task-process style leaders with dominant style leaders for cognitive style differences. Identified six cognitive style elements predicting task orientation and eight predicting process orientation. (RC)
