Critically analyzes selected intelligence test items from commonly used standardized tests. (DW)

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised (WISC-R) Freedom from Distractibility (FFD) factor and other neurocognitive measures were examined as to their discriminative validity in diagnosing children with Attention Deficit Disorder/Hyperactivity (ADD/H), ADD/H children with concurrent Conduct Disorder, and children comprising a clinic…

The S.I.T. is an age scale of intelligence with demonstrated reliability and high validity coefficients correlated to the Stanford-Binet. The items of the SIT were classified according to a scheme resembling Valett's classification of Stanford-Binet test items. A comparison of the classifications is made. (Author)

The current controversy over standardized tests is not an effort to abandon assessment, rather it is an effort to develop assessment procedures that are more in keeping with a new set of educational and social assumptions. (Author/IRT)

Measures of multivariate reliability were calculated for profiles of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) subscales on three age groups. Profile dimensions based on reliability considerations were established and matched across age groups and with factor analytic dimensions. WISC was found to measure general ability and verbal and…

It was found that the General Cognitive Index scores of the McCarthy Scales correlated well with the Stanford-Binet IQ scores. However, 40 of the 44 subjects scored higher on the Stanford-Binet than on the McCarthy Scales. (Author)

Fabricated test protocols were used to study how effectively examiners agree in scoring ambiguous WISC-R responses. The results suggest that, even with the improved WISC-R manual, scoring remains a difficult and challenging task. (Author)

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) in discriminating auditory or visual deficits, 121 learning disabled children (mean age 100 months) were tested. (PHR)

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, the Slosson Intelligence Test, and the National Education Development Test were administered to a small sample of private school children ranging in age from 12.3 to 14.1 years. Correlations among these measures were moderate to high. (JKS)

Examined concurrent validity of Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, 4th edition (SB IV) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) in a homogeneous, nonexceptional sample of 32 early elementary school children. Findings suggest that SB IV has significant positive relationship with WISC-R. The tests displayed a moderate level…

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…

Evaluated the validity of the Slosson Intelligence test as determined by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R). Results indicated that the Slosson correctly predicted functioning level to within 10 IQ points of the WISC-R Full Scale scores for 88 percent of the subjects. (LLL)

A response to 13 articles on the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children address seven areas: validity, theory underlying the intelligence portion, role of the clinicians in intellectual assessment, distinction between ability and achievement, evaluation of alternate models, remedial applications of the sequential-simultaneous processing…
