In this study, long-term intellectual functioning and school-related behavioural outcomes were assessed in a patient sample that underwent invasive treatment for congenital heart disease (ConHD) between 1990 and 1995. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised was used to measure intellectual functioning and the Teacher's Report Form to…

Although attention has been given to the intellectual functioning of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) relative to their non-ADHD peers, few studies have examined intellectual functioning in adults with ADHD. The purpose of the current investigation was to examine differences in intellectual ability between adults with…

The Slosson Intelligence Test and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Form L-M) were administered to 44 children. A comparison of measured IQs indicated that the Slosson overestimated IQ when compared with the Stanford-Binet, for 39 of the 44 children. The results also suggest that although a high degree of correlation was attained with the…

Noting the lack of research comparing the Test of Nonverbal Intelligence (TONI) with other measures of intelligence, a study was conducted to ascertain concurrent validity. The TONI was compared to the Slosson Intelligence Test for Children and Adults (SIT) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised (WISC-R). Subjects, 43 males and…

Examines the correlation between reflection-impulsivity scores on the Matching Familiar Figures (MFF) test and scores on the WISC and CTMM intelligence tests. Subjects were 53 ten-year-old girls. Results were discussed in terms of certain characteristics of the tests used and in terms of the age of the subjects. (BD)

Investigated the Vocabulary-Block Design short form for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised), Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Revised) in a sample of 126 male delinquent adolescents. Concluded that short forms, especially the WAIS and WAIS-R, are useful screening tests. (Author/JAC)

This study was conducted to determine how items of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Form L-M, had performed in the 1930's standardization sample in comparison with the 1972 standardization sample. (SB)

The Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices Test (APM) is a well-known measure of higher order general mental ability. The time to administer the test, 40 to 60 minutes, is sometimes regarded as a drawback. To meet efficiency needs, the APM can be administered as a 30-or 40-minute timed test, or one of two developed short versions could be used. In…

So as to compare the results of the WISC and WISC-R, instruments were administered to 58 children. All IQs were significantly higher on the WISC, with the Performance difference being greater than the verbal difference. Regression equations were obtained to predict WISC-R IQs from WISC scores.

The magnitude of differences between the intelligence quotients (IQs) obtained from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and those from the original WISC was estimated. Results showed the WISC-R to yield slightly lower estimates. The particular sub-scale used, age, and ability level affected results. (Author/JKS)

Administered three Wechsler adult intelligence scales to 72 undergraduates and tested the quality of means, variances, and covariances, utilizing subtest scale scores and IQs. Results indicated that the three scales were not parallel. Generally, the subtest scaled scores exhibited less similarity across the three scales than the IQ estimates.…

Purpose of the present investigation was to provide further normative data on the D 48 using American college students and to determine the relationship of scores on the D 48 to those on (a) the Otis Mental Ability Test, Gamma Form, AM, and (b) a nonverbal test, Revised Minnesota Paper Form Board. (Authors/CB)

Subtests of the two instruments were administered in randomized order to 120 16 year old students. Analysis of variance revealed higher WAIS than WISC Verbal (p is less than .001), Performance (p is less than .01), and Full Scales (p is less than .001) IQs. The WISC and WAIS are not comparable for below average intelligence students. Reprints from…

Compared regression lines for prediction of Wide Range Achievement Test scores by Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and revised WISC Full Scale IQs across race. Results support the use of a common regression line in the prediction of achievement scores for races. (Author)

Investigated the modification of impulsive responding to WISC-R subtests using a procedure which forced the child to delay before responding. Screened boys, ages 8-0 to 8-11, on the basis of cognitive tempo. Retesting showed the forced delay administration significantly improved the scoring of Impulsives but not of Reflectives. (Author/RC)
