Intelligence has been extensively explored across various disciplines such as psychology, cognitive science, and neurology. Countless scholars have delved into understanding why certain individuals exhibit higher mental acuity and knowledge. Consequently, numerous studies aim to unveil the essence of intelligence and gauge human cognitive…

The aim of the present study is to develop a national non-verbal cognitive ability test in Turkey. Test items were developed during the first stage and applied as a pilot study on 3,073 children in the age interval of 4 to 13. The test was given its final form based on the values of item difficulty, item distinctiveness, item total score…

Ten test films were developed to measure aspects of children's visual perception which are difficult to assess through conventional paper and pencil tests. The film medium was selected because it allows the presentation of temporal, as well as spacial, aspects of the stimuli. Four areas of perceptual performance covered in the films are: (1)…

The research involved construction of appropriate nonreading tests designed to measure the aptitudes underlying the GATB, a study of the interrelationships of the experimental nonreading tests and the GATB for a sample of high school seniors. (Author)

Describes the production of a test with a low verbal load for use with elementary school science students. Animated films were used to present appropriate and inappropriate models of the behavior of particles of matter. (AL)

Describes the development of an oral test for Florida drivers' license applicants whose literary impairments prevent them from passing a written examination. Field test results show that the test accurately measures applicants' knowledge of driving practices rather than their reading skills. (SK)

Presents a test of phonological awareness which does not require that subjects speak or hear to participate. Notes that the test was designed to minimize memory loads, and to measure speeded written naming and segmentation-by-sound. Concludes that the data represents the first direct demonstration of phonological abilities in deaf subjects, using…

A battery of 16 newly devised tests intended as measures of "fluid" intelligence were administered, together with a number of other measures, and factor analyzed separately for a sample of Black children and a sample of White children. The results were judged to confirm the construct of fluid intelligence. (CTM)

A method of developing attitudinal surveys for use in primary mathematics classes is described. A sample test is provided. (SD)

A new revision was developed using Rasch psychometric techniques to build a Knox's Cube Test (KCT) variable and item bank using the tapping series from all previous editions. The report forms developed give a clear picture of the subject's performance set in a context that is both normative and criterion. (Author/BW)

The Non-Verbal Test of Cognitive Skills (NTCS), by Boyd and Johnson, attempts to address the problems of non-verbal and culturally biased testing instruments in three directions: (1) Test items should be developed which cannot be linked to a specific culture or environmental source as previous learning; (2) Assumed language facility should be…

Summarized are the development and evaluation of a quasi non-verbal Cognitive Skills Test (CST) to measure comprehension, application, analysis, and synthesis in hearing impaired adolescents. It is explained that the measure was evaluated with 113 students at a school for the deaf over a 2-year period. Among findings reported are that the test and…
