The results of this study support the notion that different parts of Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices Test tap different processes. Sets A and Ab employ the rationale of the Inhelder-Piaget Test and rely on solution by graphic processes, whereas set B involves solution by opeational means. Total score results may be less appropriate than the…

The Draw-a-Design and Draw-a-Child, two subtests of the McCarthy Scales, are the best-normed drawing tests for children aged two and a half to eight and a half years but have no age-corrected deviation scaled scores available for interpretation. Scaled scores for use in interpretation are presented for these tests. (Author/NRB)
