Susan Dickerson Mayes; Daniel A. Waschbusch; Susan L. Calhoun; Richard E. Mattison – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2020
The prevalence of academic underachievement or learning disabilities in children with autism or ADHD (two groups at increased risk for such problems) has been extensively researched, but little is known about overachievement in these groups. The frequency of overachievement across academic domains compared to nondiscrepant achievement and…

Krasileva, Kate E.; Sanders, Stephan J.; Bal, Vanessa Hus – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
This study assessed the utility of a brief assessment (the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-4th Edition; PPVT4) as a proxy for verbal IQ (VIQ) in large-scale studies of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In a sample of 2,420 proband with ASD, PPVT4:IQ correlations were strong. PPVT4 scores were, on average, 5.46 points higher than VIQ; 79% of children…

Zwick, Rebecca – Civil Rights Project - Proyecto Derechos Civiles, 2023
Colleges and universities have become increasingly concerned that requiring standardized test scores for admission is an impediment to campus diversity, and these objections have grown with the recent focus on societal inequities. In addition, the pandemic led to the cancellation of test administrations, which, in turn, caused many institutions to…

Breit, Moritz; Brunner, Martin; Preckel, Franzis – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Differentiation hypotheses concern changes in the structural organization of cognitive abilities that depend on the level of general intelligence (ability differentiation) or age (developmental differentiation). Part 1 of this article presents a review of the literature on ability and developmental differentiation effects in children, revealing…

McAllister, Tara; Eads, Amanda; Kabakoff, Heather; Scott, Marc; Boyce, Suzanne; Whalen, D. H.; Preston, Jonathan L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study aimed to identify predictors of response to treatment for residual speech sound disorder (RSSD) affecting English rhotics. Progress was tracked during an initial phase of traditional motor-based treatment and a longer phase of treatment incorporating ultrasound biofeedback. Based on previous literature, we focused on baseline…

Månsson, Johanna; Stjernqvist, Karin; Serenius, Fredrik; Ådén, Ulrika; Källén, Karin – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2019
The study aim was to explore the relationship between a developmental assessment at preschool age and an intelligence quotient (IQ) assessment at school age. One hundred sixty-two children were assessed at 2.5 years with the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development--Third Edition (Bayley-III) and then at 6.5 years with the Wechsler…

Yi-Ling Chien; Yueh-Ming Tai; Yen-Nan Chiu; Wen-Che Tsai; Susan Shur-Fen Gau – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
The mediators of real-world executive functions in autism during the transition into adulthood are mainly unknown. This study aimed to identify the mediators for the behavioral and cognitive domains of real-world executive functions in late adolescent and young adult autistic populations. We followed up 289 autistic children (aged 11.6 ± 3.8, male…

Manns, Annelise; Hamilton, Elizabeth; Knows His Gun, Kristie; Gathercoal, Kathleen – Contemporary School Psychology, 2022
This study examines the relationship between perceived stress, nonverbal cognitive functioning, and statewide academic scores in both Latinx and European American elementary students in rural school districts. A total of 44 third graders participated in the study, including 13 Latinx students and 31 European American (EA) students. Perceived…

Chung, Hyunju – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The aim of the current study was to examine /l/ developmental patterns in young learners of Southern American English, especially in relation to the effect of word position and phonetic contexts. Method: Eighteen children with typically developing speech, aged between 2 and 5 years, produced monosyllabic single words containing singleton…

Banerjee, Rashida; Horn, Eva; Palmer, Susan – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2020
Young children are often enrolled in either AM (morning) or PM (afternoon) sessions in early childhood programs. However, little research is available on this routine practice. We used multilevel analysis to investigate if there are differences in the literacy, math, and social outcomes for children who participate in AM or PM sessions beyond…

Slocum, Jeremy Y.; Merriman, William E. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2018
From an early age, children show a tendency to map novel labels onto unfamiliar rather than familiar kinds of objects. Accounts of this tendency have not addressed whether children develop a metacognitive representation of what they are doing. In 3 experiments (each N = 48), preschoolers received a test of the "metacognitive disambiguation…

Miciak, Jeremy; Taylor, W. Pat; Stuebing, Karla K.; Fletcher, Jack M. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2018
We investigated the classification accuracy of learning disability (LD) identification methods premised on the identification of an intraindividual pattern of processing strengths and weaknesses (PSW) method using multiple indicators for all latent constructs. Known LD status was derived from latent scores; values at the observed level identified…

Simmons, Lisa – ProQuest LLC, 2017
This study examined the use of a brief writing intervention, Writing Our Stories (WOS), as it relates to delinquency, impulsivity, and IQ in a sample of detained adolescent males. The oppositional and unruly subscales of the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory measured the construct of delinquency, and the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of…

Nader, Anne-Marie; Courchesne, Valérie; Dawson, Michelle; Soulières, Isabelle – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is widely used to estimate autistic intelligence (Joseph in The neuropsychology of autism. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2011; Goldstein et al. in "Assessment of autism spectrum disorders." Guilford Press, New York, 2008; Mottron in "J Autism Dev Disord" 34(1):19-27, 2004).…

Werner, Shelby Spare; Hart, Kathleen J.; Ficke, Susan L. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2016
Previous studies have found that male juvenile offenders typically obtain low scores on measures of intelligence, often with a pattern of higher scores on measures of nonverbal relative to verbal tasks. The research on the intelligence performance of female juvenile offenders is limited. This study explored the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for…
