Compared scores of 40 children on the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities when administered by a trained examiner or mechanically administered. The two administrations did not produce significant differences in performance except for the Words and Sentences subtest, which scored significantly higher when administered by examiner. (JAC)

Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) scores, taken at the kindergarten level were correlated with the acquisition of sight vocabulary and later measures of reading achievement (Stanford Achievement Test scores). Correlation coefficients ranged from .61 to .87. (Author/GK)

A study involving 98 children (6 to 13 years old) in ten learning disabilities (LD) classes investigated the hypothesized pattern of recategorized WISC-R (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised) subtest scores into spatial, conceptual, and sequential areas. (SBH)

The study involving 40 learning disabled children (6-8 years old) investigated the relationships between the various indexes of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) and the scales of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), and the comparability between the MSCA General Cognitive Index and the WISC-R Full Scale…

Analyzes whether the latest version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III) measures the same constructs across its 11 age spans and what constructs are measured by the WISC-III. Findings indicate that WISC-III does measure the same constructs across ages but does not measure Freedom from Distractibility. (RJM)

Evaluated relation of performance on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition to performance on the Wide Range Achievement Test-Revised and Woodcock-Johnson Psychoeducational Battery: Tests of Achievement for 31 normal, elementary-aged students using both the area score and Sattler's factor score approaches. (Author/ABL)

Comparison of scores on the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised of 67 students (ages 6-12) referred for possible learning disabilities found strong relationships among all the global standard scores on both instruments with different score patterns for those with severe disabilities.…

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…

Argues that IQ scores can be useful in reading diagnosis, but teachers need to be familiar with the test in order to use it as a tool. (RB)

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)

Profile analysis was performed on Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) scores of 29 learning disabled students (6-10 years old) in a Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) program, to determine whether subtest patterns for initial and re-evaluation WISC-R administrations would differ significantly. Profile analysis was applied…

Investigates the relationship between the WISC IQ and academic achievement in regularily placed first-grade black children. (Author)

A short form of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised was administered to 63 disadvantaged minority group children under either self-monitoring feedback for correct or incorrect responses, standardized administration, or a pretest vicarious experience of a minority child being administered a test by a female Anglo examiner.
