WISC-R and SES data were collected on 122 learning disabled children. Questions were: Is there a relationship between SES and IQ test scores? Is pattern of subtest scores independent of SES? Is Verbal-Performance IQ test score discrepancy independent of SES? Results supported affirmative answers to all three questions. (Author)

The purpose was to investigate effects of fatigue on intelligence test performance in the elderly. Fatigue effects were investigated by varying number of previous tests, by introducing breaks, and by using a pre-test fatigue-producing condition. The elderly are not as susceptible to test fatigue as previous results suggested. (Author)

The isolation of the components of intelligent performance and applicability of the componential analysis method to tasks other than analogies are discussed. The article also examines the structure of a componential analysis, the precuing method of task decomposition, and new methods for isolating components in a variety of reasoning tasks.…

Argues that IQ tests are a valid method of determining student intelligence but that they should be used with caution and interpreted only by qualified individuals. For journal availability, see SO 505 800. (JR)

Cross-validated the effectiveness of the Satz-Mogel short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale controlling for the influence of age, racial-ethnic group, and IQ range. Results suggest that age and racial-ethnic group do not affect the short-form validity but that IQ range does. (Author)

The study was designed to provide information regarding the relationship between the WPPSI (Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence) and the WISC-R (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised), over a 1-year interval, for 90 children (an average age of 5.6 years at the time of first testing) of above average intelligence.…

A short form of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised was administered to 63 disadvantaged minority group children under either self-monitoring feedback for correct or incorrect responses, standardized administration, or a pretest vicarious experience of a minority child being administered a test by a female Anglo examiner.

Examined records of 170 learning-disabled students to determine stability of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) test scores. WISC-R was readministered three years later to 150 subjects. Stability coefficients were .72, .70, and .74 for Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale Intelligence Quotient scores. Results suggest WISC-R…

Investigated similarity in pattern of strengths and weaknesses between 585 elementary school students who were evaluated and either placed in special education or not placed in special education. Data from 18 composite scale scores obtained from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Childen-Revised revealed parallel profiles, suggesting that the two…

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised short-form procedures were used with 69 adolescents with slow school progress. The Satz-Mogel model was most effective in predicting the Full-Scale IQ. The Verbal IQ, Performance IQ, and selected five or six subtest combinations were also helpful predictors. Short-form procedures are inadequate for…

The relationship among IQs of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), Test of Nonverbal Intelligence (TONI), and Quick Test (QT) were investigated using 51 students (grades 2-8) with suspected learning problems. The subjects scored significantly higher on the TONI than on the WISC-R Verbal and Full Scales. (Author/VW)
