McGill, Ryan J.; Spurgin, Angelia R. – Psychology in the Schools, 2016
The current study examined the incremental validity of the Luria interpretive scheme for the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition (KABC-II) for predicting scores on the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement-Second Edition (KTEA-II). All participants were children and adolescents (N = 2,025) drawn from the nationally…

Hurks, Petra P. M.; Bakker, Helen – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2016
In this article, we briefly describe the history of intelligence test use with children and youth in the Netherlands, explain which models of intelligence guide decisions about test use, and detail how intelligence tests are currently being used in Dutch school settings. Empirically supported and theoretical models studying the structure of human…

Karama, S.; Ad-Dab'bagh, Y.; Haier, R. J.; Deary, I. J.; Lyttelton, O. C.; Lepage, C.; Evans, A. C. – Intelligence, 2009
Neuroimaging studies, using various modalities, have evidenced a link between the general intelligence factor (g) and regional brain function and structure in several multimodal association areas. While in the last few years, developments in computational neuroanatomy have made possible the "in vivo" quantification of cortical thickness, the…

Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised with Normal and Psychiatric Adolescents.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Anderson, Timothy; Dixon, Wallace E., Jr. – Journal of Research on Adolescence, 1995
Tested one-, two-, three-, and four-factor models within normal and psychiatric adolescent inpatient groups to confirm the factor structure for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R). For both samples, the Kaufman three-factor solution had the best overall fit of the WISC-R subtest covariance structure. Other models were…

Joint Confirmatory Factor Analyses of the DAS and WISC-R.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stone, Brian J. – Journal of School Psychology, 1992
Investigated joint factor structure of Differential Abilities Scale and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised for 115 children. Compared theoretically supportable models (Spearman's General factor; Wechsler's Verbal, Performance, and Freedom from Distractibility factors; Elliott's verbal, nonverbal, spatial, and diagnostic perspective)…

Growth of Cognitive Abilities: Dynamic Models and Scaling.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Eckstein, Shulamith Graus – Developmental Review, 2000
Extends dynamic model of cognitive growth proposed by van Geert in three directions: (1) added a term to consider exposure to material to be learned; (2) developed method to apply model to cross-sectional studies; and (3) developed procedure to scale cognitive abilities tests with items of varying difficulty. Tests model with 2- to 15-year-olds'…
