Gonthier, Corentin – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Visuo-spatial reasoning tests, such as Raven's matrices, Cattell's culture-fair test, or various subtests of the Wechsler scales, are frequently used to estimate intelligence scores in the context of inter-racial comparisons. This has led to several high-profile works claiming that certain ethnic groups have lower intelligence than others,…

Bialystok, Ellen; Hawrylewicz, Kornelia; Grundy, John G.; Chung-Fat-Yim, Ashley – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Early research that relied on standardized assessments of intelligence reported negative effects of bilingualism for children, but a study by Peal and Lambert (1962) reported better performance by bilingual than monolingual children on verbal and nonverbal intelligence tests. This outcome led to the view that bilingualism was a positive…

Mun, Rachel U.; Langley, Susan Dulong; Ware, Sharon; Gubbins, E. Jean; Siegle, Del; Callahan, Carolyn M.; McCoach, D. Betsy; Hamilton, Rashea – Grantee Submission, 2016
While the number of English Learners (ELs) continues to grow rapidly in the United States, corresponding proportions of ELs are not found in gifted and talented education programs across the nation. The underrepresentation of ELs in gifted programs is both a societal and a research problem. This report presents the results of a systematic review…

Cao, Thuy Hong; Jung, Jae Yup; Lee, Jihyun – Journal of Advanced Academics, 2017
Assessment is a crucial component of gifted education. Not only does it facilitate the recognition of the potential and specific needs of gifted students, it also monitors the progress and growth of gifted students, and allows for the evaluation of gifted education programs. In the present review, we synthesize the literature on assessment in…

Karagiannakis, Giannis N.; Baccaglini-Frank, Anna E.; Roussos, Petros – Australian Journal of Learning Difficulties, 2016
Through a review of the literature on mathematical learning disabilities (MLD) and low achievement in mathematics (LA) we have proposed a model classifying mathematical skills involved in learning mathematics into four domains (Core number, Memory, Reasoning, and Visual-spatial). In this paper we present a new experimental computer-based battery…

Klauer, Karl Josef; Phye, Gary D. – Review of Educational Research, 2008
Researchers have examined inductive reasoning to identify different cognitive processes when participants deal with inductive problems. This article presents a prescriptive theory of inductive reasoning that identifies cognitive processing using a procedural strategy for making comparisons. It is hypothesized that training in the use of the…

The emphasis is on socioeconomic status but factors of sex and ethnicity are also considered. Two major studies from which socioeconomic status data can be extracted are examined. These and other studies found…

Costenbader, Virginia; Ngari, Stephen Mbugua – School Psychology International, 2001
Establishes a Kenyan standardization of the Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (RCPM), a nonverbal instrument widely used to assess academic aptitude in young children. Data was gathered from a sample of 1,370 children between the ages of 6 and 10 years. Using the current data, the RCPM appears to be a reliable and valid instrument for use in…

Saccuzzo, Dennis P.; And Others – 1994
The primary purpose of this study was to determine if a model for identifying gifted and talented students could be developed which would provide equal access to gifted programs for children of all ethnic and economic backgrounds. The culturally and ethnically diverse San Diego City School District provided a pool of over 35,000 children referred…

Raven, John – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1989
Recent results relating to the stability of scores on the Raven Progressive Matrices Test for different subgroups within and between the United Kingdom, United States, and other Western societies are summarized. Despite the continuous increase in scores over time, differences between socioeconomic and ethnic groups remain. (TJH)

Saccuzzo, Dennis P.; And Others – 1994
The efficacy of use of the Raven Progressive Matrices Test (RPM) in the selection of gifted children from traditionally underrepresented groups was investigated in a large-scale study with a diverse population. A total of 16,985 subjects were given the Raven Progressive Matrices Test. These included 22.7 percent Latinos, 37 percent Whites, 14…
