Relationships between school achievement and two theoretically different measures of intelligence, Piagetian and psychometric, are explored in 143 bright, average, and retarded elementary school students. Factor analyses of the California Test of Mental Maturity, the Metropolitan Achievement Test, the Stanford-Binet, and fifteen Piaget-type tasks…

Both sides of a long standing and apparently still heated argument are reviewed and presented. Are males more variable in intelligence than females? In an attempt to answer the question the author employed data from a longitudinal growth study. Results indicated that sex differences in variability on individual subtests of the Wechsler…

The aim of this paper was to develop a simplification of Sattler's technique (in the form of a table) to make it easier to use and to apply to the Binet profile of any child tested. An illustration is included. (Author)

Comparison of Stanford-Binet IQ scores obtained with the 1972 and 1960 norms of 228 children indicated that use of the 1972 norms resulted in substantially lower scores except at the lowest levels for functioning. The implications of these results were discussed. (Author)

Examined relationships between performance-verbal (P-V) discrepancy scores on Wechsler Intelligence Quotient Scales, love deprivation, and juvenile delinquency among 131 male juvenile probationers. P-V discrepancy scores were significantly related to love deprivation and violent crimes, supporting assertion that early emotional stresses affect…

Examined factors that influenced the educational diagnoses of a sample of referred students (N=80) in grades one through six. Results indicated that the recommendations made by the multidisciplinary teams were associated primarily with the level of the Full Scale IQ. (LLL)

Describes a relatively easy and empirically evolved formula that can predict the reading achievement of low IQ children. (HOD)

The author explores the cultural biases of I.Q. tests and their implications for education. Culture specific tests are also discussed as a possible alternative to both standard and culture free I.Q. tests. (RP)

This study assesses 78 emotionally disturbed children on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and the revised edition of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA) to demonstrate the relationship between the two tests and determine which revised ITPA subtest scores best predict the children's WISC Full Scale, Verbal and…

It was concluded that while the correlations between the full and abbreviated WISC are consistent with previous research, the many discrepancies in levels of intelligence suggest that the abbreviated administration is of questionable validity when used with black children. (Author)

Attempts to fill research gap on testing by obtaining comparisons of deviation scores, at grade levels four, seven, and ten, from the California Test of Mental Maturity, Henmon-Nelson Tests, and Lorge-Thorndike Intelligence tests. Results tabulated. (CJ)

The relationship between nonverbal intelligence and English language ability was examined in 25 deaf children between the ages of 6 and 10. Subtests which require visual memory consistently entered the multiple regression equations as the best predictors of language performance. (Author)

Because many people still believe that specific, identifiable genes dictate the level of human intelligence and that the number/quality of these genes can be evaluated, presents evidence from human genetics (related to nervous system development) to counter this view. Also disputes erroneous assumptions made in "heritability studies" of human…
