Information processing research offers a solution to the ambiguity of many concepts in cognitive psychology. The author's definition of intelligence and the structure-of-intellect model offer a systematic collection of rigorously and operationally defined concepts. New evidence for discriminability of the model categories and views of memory and…

Compared regression lines for prediction of Wide Range Achievement Test scores by Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and revised WISC Full Scale IQs across race. Results support the use of a common regression line in the prediction of achievement scores for races. (Author)

Administered the Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) to 92 preschool children. Administered the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale to a sample of the group, and the results were compared to the results from the SIT. Results indicated the SIT overestimated the performance of average preschool children. (Author)

Investigated the modification of impulsive responding to WISC-R subtests using a procedure which forced the child to delay before responding. Screened boys, ages 8-0 to 8-11, on the basis of cognitive tempo. Retesting showed the forced delay administration significantly improved the scoring of Impulsives but not of Reflectives. (Author/RC)

Reviews studies examining the relationship between IQ and creativity involving 6- to 13-year-old children. Discusses the effectiveness of creativity training programs. (Author/RH)

Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) scores, taken at the kindergarten level were correlated with the acquisition of sight vocabulary and later measures of reading achievement (Stanford Achievement Test scores). Correlation coefficients ranged from .61 to .87. (Author/GK)

Mexican-American participants in a summer career-exploration program were given the Kent Emergency Scale and the Otis-Lennon Test of Mental Abilities. Correlation between Otis IQ and Kent raw score was significantly positive but lower than those reported in other settings. Caution is warranted in interpreting Kent results in Mexican-Americans.…

In a discussion of intellectual giftedness, the author describes the main characteristics that differentiate information processing theories from psychometric theories. Interrelationships between components and factors are considered, and implications of the theory for the training of the gifted are pointed out. (SB)

A review of the literature regarding the utility of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) with learning disabled (LD) students was conducted. It is concluded that the WISC-R can be an adjunct to LD diagnosis and one step in educational planning for the LD student. (Author)

The author reviews cognitive-behavioral approaches to the training of intelligence in the retarded. A proposed structure of intelligent behavior is presented that serves as the basis for classifying the intended foci of the various training programs. (Author)

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised profiles of 30 "uneven gifted" children (mean age 10 years) were examined to assess strengths and deficits as well as scatter. (Author)

Examines 21 recent introductory psychology textbooks to determine their treatment of A. R. Jensen and his theory of intelligence. Findings show that Jensenism is still an issue but that the trend is toward implicit or explicit rejection of the Jensen hypothesis. (CK)

The self-esteem of 15 eight- to ten-year-old children with dyslexia was compared to a matched control group of normal or above average readers. Relationships were examined among the following six constructs: good at reading, kind, hard working, intelligent, happy, and successful. (PHR)

Investigated whether scores on a science concept recognition test were related to IQ estimates of Tasmanian high school students. (CS)

In this study with bilingual Chinese college students, faster subjects in a word-judging task had lower Raven's Progressive Matrices scores. The distinction between test response time and actual mental speed as a correlate of intelligence is discussed. (Author/SJL)
