TWO HYPOTHESES RELATED TO HYPOTHESIS INTERFERENCE IN CONCEPT PERFORMANCE OF YOUNG CHILDREN WERE TESTED/ (1) STUDENTS MAKE MORE CLASSIFICATIONS WHEN STIMULUS OBJECTS ARE PRESENTED SEQUENTIALLY THAN WHEN STIMULUS OBJECTS ARE PRESENTED SIMULTANEOUSLY, AND (2) REDUCING THE NUMBER OF STIMULUS OBJECTS INCREASES CLASSIFICATION SPEED. MATCHED ON THE BASIS…

Seeks to determine convergent validity values and to compare intelligence estimates for three tests across various levels and ranges of intelligence. Results indicated that the use of the PPUT or DAP for determining intelligence of kindergarten children is unjustified. (Author/PC)

The S.I.T. is an age scale of intelligence with demonstrated reliability and high validity coefficients correlated to the Stanford-Binet. The items of the SIT were classified according to a scheme resembling Valett's classification of Stanford-Binet test items. A comparison of the classifications is made. (Author)

Nineteen school psychologists assigned 142 items in Form L-M of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale to the five Operations categories of Guilford's Structure of Intellect model. Results show levels of agreement are not high enough to justify classifying Stanford-Binet items in accordance with the Structure of Intellect Operations categories.…

Certain subtests of the WISC, ITPA, and Stanford-Binet are used as measures of analogical reasoning. Because several facts suggested that the form of analogy used on these subtests does not require subjects to engage in true analogical reasoning, the validity of these subtests as measures of analogical reasoning was investigated. (Author)

Discrepancies between the mental age (MA) scores and the mean performance of chronological age (CA) groups in the latest revision of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale are noted. A table is presented for converting published Stanford-Binet MA scores into MA scores that are congruent with the above definition. (Author)

The Quick Test, Form I (QT) and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Form L-M (SB) were administered to 70 preschool children. Results raise serious doubt about the validity of the QT functioning. Further research is indicated. (Author)

Comparison of Stanford-Binet IQ scores obtained with the 1972 and 1960 norms of 228 children indicated that use of the 1972 norms resulted in substantially lower scores except at the lowest levels for functioning. The implications of these results were discussed. (Author)

The study compared the performance of 35 lower SES black kindergarten children on the WPPSI and the 1972 Norm Edition of the Stanford-Binet. Contrary to the findings of previous investigations before the restandardization of the Binet, the WPPSI was found to yield a significantly higher mean IQ than the Binet. (Author)

THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF TASK SCORES VERSUS IQ AS PREDICTORS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT WAS INVESTIGATED, AND THE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN TASK SCORES AND IQ RE-EXAMINED. SUBJECTS WERE 99 UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH A MEAN STANFORD-BINET IQ OF 126 (SD EQUALS 19). THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE DUNN'S OBJECT SORTING TASK (OST),…

WISC-Rs and Stanford-Binets were administered to 50 children with developmental disabilities referred for comprehensive evaluations. Fifty-four percent of the children received different classifications using the two instruments. Different classifications of intellectual level may be derived for the same child depending upon which test is used.…

AGE, SEX, AND IQ DIFFERENCES IN THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CONCEPTUAL PERFORMANCE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN WERE STUDIED. PERFORMANCE MEASURES WERE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF DUNN'S OBJECT SORTING TASK (OST) WHICH PROVIDED SUCH INDICATORS AS SIZE OF THE COGNITIVE MATRIX, ACCESSIBILITY OF THE CONCEPTS IN THE MATRIX, AND DEGREE OF PRECISION IN…

A STUDY EXAMINED THE VALIDITY OF TWO BRIEF INTELLIGENCE SCALES, THE PEABODY PICTURE VOCABULARY TEST (PPVT) AND THE COLUMBIA MENTAL MATURITY SCALE (CMMS), TO SEE IF THESE TESTS OVERESTIMATED THE INCIDENCE OF INTELLECTUAL RETARDATION AMONG POVERTY AREA CHILDREN. THESE TWO TESTS AND AN EXPERIMENTAL MEASURE OF INTELLIGENCE, THE JOHNS HOPKINS…

COMPLETE EVALUATION DATA WERE GATHERED ON 162 CHILDREN IN 23 CLASSES IN NINE HEAD START CENTERS. FIVE AREAS EXPLORED WERE--(1) ITEM ANALYSIS OF EVALUATION TESTS--STANFORD-BINET AND THE CALDWELL-SOULE PRESCHOOL INVENTORY, (2) COMPARISON OF AGE-MATCHED GROUPS--43 MATCHED PAIRS WITHIN THE HEAD START POPULATION (THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES…
