The theory of triarchic intelligence posits that, in addition to the widely acknowledged analytical reasoning abilities, creative and practical abilities should be included in the assessments of intellectual capacities and identification of gifted students. To find support for such an approach, the present study examined the psychometric…

The assessment of cognitive ability in students with the most severe disabilities presents a challenge to the clinicians who are charged with this task. This article is the second of a two-part series that summarizes what is currently known about effective assessment of the cognitive ability of students with significant impairments in order to…

Contending that the Stanford Binet Intelligence Test is not based upon a sound theory of intellectual functions, this article evaluates observations of intelligence and maintains a human has a capacity unto his constructed being, unique unto himself, with a commoness relative to its species. (JC)

Qualitative and quantitative evaluations were made of the 1967-68 academic period, the sixth year of demonstration classes, conducted by the Institute for Developmental Studies at New York University. Qualitative evaluations were obtained for reading, mathematics, classroom behavior, science, creative dramatics, and use of the Language Master…

The S.I.T. is an age scale of intelligence with demonstrated reliability and high validity coefficients correlated to the Stanford-Binet. The items of the SIT were classified according to a scheme resembling Valett's classification of Stanford-Binet test items. A comparison of the classifications is made. (Author)

Nineteen school psychologists assigned 142 items in Form L-M of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale to the five Operations categories of Guilford's Structure of Intellect model. Results show levels of agreement are not high enough to justify classifying Stanford-Binet items in accordance with the Structure of Intellect Operations categories.…

Certain subtests of the WISC, ITPA, and Stanford-Binet are used as measures of analogical reasoning. Because several facts suggested that the form of analogy used on these subtests does not require subjects to engage in true analogical reasoning, the validity of these subtests as measures of analogical reasoning was investigated.

RESEARCH IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION HAS PRODUCED VARIED RESULTS, BUT IT IS FELT THAT THE EARLIER THERE IS INTERVENTION INTO UNSATISFACTORY EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, THE MORE EFFECTIVE WILL BE THE EFFORT TO REDUCE EDUCATIONAL DISABILITIES. THIS STUDY WAS DESIGNED TO INVESTIGATE THE NATURE AND DEGREE OF CHANGE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF FOUR-YEAR OLD CHILDREN…

Ten years of validity research concerning the Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) is reviewed. The equivalence of the SIT to the Stanford-Binet and the Wechsler Scales is examined and the relationship of the SIT to achievement measures is described. (Author)

IN ORDER TO DEVELOP AND EVALUATE MEASURING INSTRUMENTS FOR ASSESSING THE COGNITIVE CAPACITIES OF DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN, EXTENSIVE TESTING OF PRESCHOOL PUPILS AT 4 HEADSTART CENTERS IN CHICAGO WAS CONDUCTED. ACHIEVEMENT AND BEHAVIOR TESTS WERE ADMINISTERED DIRECTLY TO THE PUPILS. PUPILS' MOTHERS WERE INTERVIEWED AND TESTED TO OBTAIN INFORMATION…
