Examined relationship between Matrix Analogies Test-Short Form (MAT-SF) and Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition and academic achievement as measured by Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement-Brief Form (KTEA-BF). Findings from 71 referred students supported concurrent and criterion-related validity of MAT-SF. MAT-SF correlated…

Investigated relationship between Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition (SB:IV) abbreviated batteries and complete battery among 38 college students. Findings suggest that school psychologists who use abbreviated versions of SB:IV with older adolescents and young adults should be aware that these short forms may underestimate students'…

Examined 60 Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Education (WISC-III) protocols administered by graduate students in training to obtain preliminary data on the frequency and types of administration and scoring errors that examiners commit. The five most frequent errors included failure to query, failure to record response verbatim,…

The Metropolitan Achievement Test (MAT) was administered to 35 original Head-Start children three to four years after initial WPPSI testing. WPPSI Verbal IQ did not correlate significantly with any of the subject areas of the MAT, while Performance IQ correlated only moderately with mathematical components of the MAT (r = .42 - .52).

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)

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)

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…

Often regarded as equivalent instruments, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) yielded significantly different Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale scores for intellectually subaverage group, with WAIS-R consistently providing higher scores. This has implications for issues of…

Explored the relationship between the new Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) and the Revised Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-R) Forms L and M for a sample of 30 predominantly Black Head Start children. The highest correlations occurred between the K-ABC Achievement Scale and the PPVT-R. (Author/NRB)

Examined the relationship between the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) in 30 mildly retarded adolescents. The WISC-R was administered at about age 14 and the WAIS-R at about age 18. Results were comparable for both tests. (JAC)

Computed correlations between the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities (WJTCA) in behavior disordered male adolescents (N=100). Results indicated that all WISC-R subtests correlated with the W-J Broad Cognitive Ability score. (LLL)

Compared the Revised Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-R) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) for 53 rural children. The PPVT-R was highly correlated with WISC-R scale and subtest scores. Examination of a subsample of developmentally handicapped students revealed substantial reduction in correlational relationships. (JAC)

The findings of this investigation show that the SIT and WISC are measuring the same things to a statistically significant degree. (Author)

Administration of the BG in a group situation provided as much, and as reliable, information as did individual administration. Besides the economy, it provided an opportunity to observe the individual child's functioning as a member of a peer group, both in relation to it and in conjunction with it. (Author)
