Administered the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised to mildly retarded adults (N=21). Results indicated that the revised Peabody tended to yield significantly lower estimates of functioning than did the other measures. (Author/LLL)

Considered methods of evaluating the pattern of subtest scores on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised. The rationale and method for calculating the size of the significant difference between a subtest and the mean of the subtests scores for an individual are described. (JAC)

A survey is given of the potential role of artificial intelligence in retrieval systems. The paper concludes with an outline of areas for further research on artificial intelligence in information retrieval systems. (Author)

In the 20 years since the publication of "Frames of Mind" by Howard Gardner, two major developments have altered the prospects for making a connection between neuropsychology and theories of how people differ. The first of these events was that electrical or magnetic recording make it possible to "see" inside the brain as…

This study examined the concurrent validity of the Emotional Intelligence Inventory (M. Tapia, 2001) and the Emotional Intelligence Scale (N. Schutte and others, 1998). The responses to the inventories of 234 college students, 84 males and 250 females, were analyzed. Correlations between the total score on the two scales were significant.…

The ability estimates of Gibbs sampling and the magnitudes of the posterior standard deviations were investigated. Item parameters of the Q-E intelligence test (J. Fraenkel and N. Wallen, 2000) for 44 examinees were obtained using Gibbs sampling, marginal Bayesian estimation, and BILOG. Two normal priors were used in item parameter estimation.…

This paper describes the life and achievements of businessman, philanthropist, and photographic innovator, George Eastman. Aspects of multiple intelligences theory with regard to Eastman's life are discussed. The paper details Eastman's many and varied successes after a poor childhood and notes that, although he left school at 13 to help support…

A probe-type serial memory task was used to determine whether 3-dimensional objects would produce better recall than colored pictures of the same objects in elementary school students with low IQ's. (ST)

The present study examined long-term relationships among the SIT, the Stanford-Binet, L-M (SB) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC). (Author)

A number of card-carrying academics have found that intellectual freedom stops where unpopular ideas begin. (Editor)

The major finding of this study is that there is a larger socioeconomic status or Negro-White difference on intelligence measures than on measures of rote learning and memory. The difference in the performance of Negro and White children increases with age. (EH)

Six short forms of the WAIS were compared as to their accuracy for estimating full scale IQs in a mentally retarded population. (Author)
