Group and individually administered measure of intelligence were related to laboratory based measures of human information processing on a group of college freshmen. Among other results, high IQ was related to right hemisphere efficiency in processing non-linguistic stimuli. (Author/JKS)

The verbal, performance, and full-scale IQs of the standardization sample for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised (WISC-R) were analyzed according to sex, race, geographic region, parental occupation, and type of residence (urban or rural) and compared with corresponding data from a 1950 study of the WISC standardization sample.…

Standardized intelligence quotient tests should be supplemented and/or replaced by new tests that (1) emphasize the consequentiality of test material and speed selection rather than speed, (2) minimize demands on prior knowledge and test anxiety, and (3) measure intelligence according to three general classes: problem-solving ability, verbal…

The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) attempts to improve on the theory and technology of intelligence testing. The criteria used for this evaluation of the K-ABC are adequate theoretical basis; expanded range of abilities measured; incremental as well as convergent and discriminant validity; multiple meaningful scores; and training…

None of the several objective indices of cultural bias shows any significant indication of bias in any of the standardized tests of intelligence examined when they are used with blacks and whites. (Author/IRT)

The California Psychological Inventory includes a masculinity femininity measure, Fe. Although the test author suggests that Fe is positively related to intelligence for females but negatively for males, a review of the literature fails to substantiate this claim. Correlation of Fe and intellectual measures is low in magnitude and is not different…

Subjects were 30 boys aged 9-12 with learning disabilities. Lower socioeconomic status (LSES) learning-disabled boys scored lower than the normal population on both verbal and performance scales of the WISC while upper-middle socioeconomic status (USES) boys scored lower only on verbal tests. USES boys scored higher than LSES boys in Performance…

When predicting work adjustment for disadvantaged trainees, intelligence tests will predict better for whites than blacks. Additional data suggest that the counselor who is interested in predicting the work adjustment of his clients should be aware of the need to develop different prediction criteria for whites and blacks.

Verbal intelligence of Athenians 18 years and older was studied through the use of the Information, Comprehension, and Similarities subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. Three sub-groups of subjects were used according to sex, age, and education. (CB)

Concludes that there are significant relationships between verbal IQ, full-scale IQ, and reading comprehension. (FL)

Children aged 6 to 13 years were given verbal and nonverbal fluency tasks and block design subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. Results, providing normative data, showed that fluency tasks are age-, but not sex-dependent, and are modestly correlated to one another. (Author/CM)

Persons representing the extremes of intelligence cannot be included in the same study unless they are approximately equated on mental age, in which case the relative performances of the extreme groups can provide useful information about the nature of intelligence. (Author/RD)

The predictive power of various cognitive skills at three months of age in terms of later cognitive functioning was examined. Visual habituation and recovery predicted later intellectual functioning at 24 months better than global intelligence or object permanence scores. Changes in cognitive functioning may be a transformation of skills.…

Black and White Appalachian children, matched for sex and Full Scale WISC-R IQ scores, were compared on their subtest scores. One finding was that the Black males scored significantly higher than the Whites on Verbal IQ, which contradicts previous observations of poorer Verbal Scale performance by minority subjects. (SJL)
