This report presents a pre- and posttest evaluation of the first program year of the Kamehameha Early Education Program (KEEP). Each of the 28 children in the KEEP kindergarten class received three tests: the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI), the Metropolitan Readiness Test (MRT), and the Standard English Repetition…

A QUALITATIVE AND CLINICAL ANALYSIS OF COGNITIVE FUNCTIONING WAS DETERMINED BY ADMINISTRATION OF THE STANDFORD-BINET INTELLIGENCE SCALE AND THE WECHSLER INTELLIGENCE SCALE FOR CHILDREN TO A SAMPLE OF 65 NORMAL CHILDREN. EXAMINATIONS AND OBSERVATIONS WERE MADE FOR EACH CHILD DURING HIS INFANCY, PRESCHOOL, LATENCY, AND PREPUBERTY PERIODS. ANALYSIS…

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) was compared to the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Revised (WISC-R) in a sample of 30 children with reading disabilities who had been referred to a university clinic. All the children completed the WISC-R; nineteen children completed Form A and eleven children completed Form B of the PPVT. All…

The purpose of this bulletin is to acquaint the reading teacher with the organization and administration of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC).

A total of 142 full scale individual intelligence tests of students referred for gifted placement were rescored to compare the vocabulary (V) and block design (BD) dyad of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Revised (WISC-R) with the full scale WISC-R and the limen method of scoring of the Stanford-Binet (SB) with the full scale SB.…

Notes that I.Q. tests measure certain specific structures of "modern consciousness". (Author/AM)

Patterns of Verbal and Performance Intelligence Quotients (IQ) and subtest scores of young gifted children (N=306) were identified on the Weschler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI). Most students had higher verbal than performance IQs, and the verbal IQ mean was significantly higher than the performance IQ mean. (Author/CB)

For mildly and moderately mentally retarded individuals, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised measures at about the same level as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, and, consequently, it also produces much higher IQs than the Wechsler children's scales or the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Form L-M, despite high intertest…

Report of an interview with the inventor of the neural efficiency analyzer, reputed to be the first successful culture-free measure of native intelligence. (Author)

Split-half reliability, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity, with the WISC as a criterion of the Long and Short Forms of the French Pictorial Test of Intelligence, were compared, using kindergarten and second grade samples. Reliability and validity coefficients for The Short Form did not differ significantly from the Long Form.…
