This study was undertaken to determine the suitability of the California Abbreviated WISC--Form 1 (CAW-1) for use with WISC-R subtests. Results indicate that the CAW-1 was suitable for use with WISC-R subtests with minor alterations. (Author)

This study used 126 young adult black and white male inmates to test the comparability of the Pauker and Statz and Mogul short forms with the standard Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). The Pauker form was superior with this population. Findings should not be generalized to other ages, races, or to women. (Author/CP)

Discrepancy scores (Verbal IQ minus Performance IQ) were examined for the WISC-R, using the standardization sample as the data source. The occurrence of significant discrepancy scores was found not to be significantly related to age, sex, or race, although significant relationships were obtained with both parental occupation and intelligence…

The Arthur Adaptation of the Leiter International Performance Scale, Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices, and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Performance Section were administered to 31 children with mild to moderate hearing impairments. A comparison of test results indicated moderate convergent validity among the measures. (Author)

Reanalysis of data derived from a meta-analysis of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, using a learning disability index derived from a principal-components analysis, found that the test discriminated reliably between 9,372 learning-disabled children and their non-disabled peers. (Author/CB)

Addresses the consumer's need for more information by describing a framework for integrating test data when it applies to minority children and their families. The progression to nonbiased assessment includes legal decisions and guidelines, further training and education for professionals who test, and greater awareness of issues for all consumers…

Criticizes the Detroit Tests of Learning Aptitude 2 (DLTA-2): (1) scoring criteria for the Story Construction Test are questionable; (2) the Word Fragment Test may not be practically significant; (3) the Picture Book is inconvenient to use without an index or table of contents. One major strength is the provision for combining subtest scores. (SRT)

Explored the relationship between age and intelligence test performance across race and evaluated the developmental progression of scores and construct validity of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children in a sample totaling 2,615 children. No significant race or sex differences were found, supporting the validity of the K-ABC. (JAC)

Used multiple regression analysis to derive a short form for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised in a sample of 300 children receiving treatment and/or evaluation at a university-affiliated community mental health center. Results yielded several four- and five-subtest predictive equations with demonstrable predictive validity.…

The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) attempts to improve on the theory and technology of intelligence testing. The criteria used for this evaluation of the K-ABC are adequate theoretical basis; expanded range of abilities measured; incremental as well as convergent and discriminant validity; multiple meaningful scores; and training…

Six methods of measuring factorial similarity were compared with regard to outcome based on two large data sets, one for an intelligence test and the other for a personality test. All indexes yielded comparable results. Comparing factors determined at random, all indexes yielded comparable results leading to a conclusion of dissimilarity.…

None of the several objective indices of cultural bias shows any significant indication of bias in any of the standardized tests of intelligence examined when they are used with blacks and whites. (Author/IRT)

Findings, confirming the results of an earlier study using a less deprived population, indicated that young black children do not benefit from having the Binet administered in Negro Dialect. (Author)
