The effects of stress associated with the administration of four commonly used tests of personality and intellectual assessment on measures of state and trait anxiety were assessed. (Author/BJG)

Scores, hypothesized abilities and Scales on the Lorge-Thorndike Intelligence Tests (LT), Multi-Level Edition, were intercorrelated and factor analyzed to determine overlap of structure-of-intellect (SOI) ability measure, their degree of relationship with LT scales, and the possible presence of second order factors. (Author/BJG)

The Perkins-Binet Test of Intelligence for the Blind, Form U; the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), Verbal Scale; and the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) were administered to 52 low-vision children in the third, fifth, seventh, and ninth grades. Results indicated that the mean ten scores on the two tests of intelligence…

Examined mean scores and predictive validity coefficients obtained from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC), and the Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT). All three tests were administered to 35 Navajo children. Results supported general use of the K-ABC with…

Factor scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) were compared for two groups (total N=100) of cultural-familial mentally retarded youth (eight- to 11- and 13- to 16-year-olds) and one group of 50 nonretarded youth (eight- to 11-year-olds). (Author/SW)

Various testing-the-limits procedures were employed in administering the Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices test to 108 subjects with learning difficulties (age range 8.4 to 12.9 years). (Author)

Two studies investigated the effects of administration modifications on subtest scaled scores of the Wechsler-Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R). Performance scale rated different groups of 57 severely/profoundly hearing-impaired children. Total communication was found to result in higher scores on all subtests in the genetic and…

The author discusses conclusions presented in two artcles by H. Vance et al. titled "Determining WISC-R (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised) Profiles for Reading Disabled Children" and "Developing Remedial Hypotheses from Ability Profiles." The validity of five distinct WISC-R profiles for reading disabled…

The authors reply to M. Miller's concerns regarding their work on Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) profiles for reading disabled children. Among the criticisms addressed are those dealing with subject sampling, Ss not fitting into the five WISC-R profiles, and factor analysis procedures used. (SBH)

The author responds to rebuttals by F. Wallbrown et al. regarding criticisms of their research on Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) profiles of reading disabled children. (SBH)

WISC-R subtest profiles were examined for 20 learning disabled and 20 mentally retarded children. The rank order of the WISC-R subtests supports the concept of distinct Patterns for these exceptional children. Correlations between the present samples' subtests patterns and previous findings are also reported. (Author)

Administered Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition and Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children to 40 referred children. Correlation coefficients computed between two tests were strong, suggesting consistency in underlying global construct being measured; however, no compelling evidence supporting theoretical structure of two scales was…

Stability of verbal reasoning test scores was measured for 146 students aged 8-13. Results suggest that reasoning test scores are not constant and vary considerably over time. Scores are not finite measures of intellectual capacity but of current verbal functioning, reflecting education and experiences to that point. (SK)

Examines the concurrent validity of the Slosson Full-Range Intelligence Test (S-FRIT) by comparing S-FRIT scores to the scores of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III) and the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement-Revised (WJ-R). Results revealed that the S-FRIT scores were more related to overall intelligence,…

In order to compare the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised (WISC-R) and the Renzulli-Hartman Scale for Determination of Gifted Placement, 192 potentially gifted elementary students were rated on both tests. A correlation matrix indicated that one of the four subscales of the Renzulli-Hartman Scale, the Learning Characteristics…
