Peer reviewedSmith, Glen A.; McPhee, K. A. – Intelligence, 1987
Timed performance measures from a coincidence timing task taking about 10 minutes are shown to have significant correlations with psychometric general intelligence in a group of 56 children. The mean absolute error across three conditions correlated -.294 with Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices scores but was sex-biased, with girls being less…

Direct linkSarouphim, Ketty M. – Journal for the Education of the Gifted, 2009
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of DISCOVER, a performance- based assessment in identifying gifted Lebanese students. The sample consisted of 248 students (121 boys, 127 girls) from Grades 3-5 at two private schools in Beirut, Lebanon. Students were administered DISCOVER and the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices…

Peer reviewedKaye, Daniel B.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1979
Results of two studies using the Esper paradigm to determine development of rule application and discovery are reported. Subjects learned and generalized when rule and structure were provided, but there was little evidence of rule discovery. Manipulations of memory and attention facilitated learning, but only attention facilitated rule discovery.…

Burns, Nicholas R.; Lee, Michael D.; Vickers, Douglas – Journal of Problem Solving, 2006
Studies of human problem solving have traditionally used deterministic tasks that require the execution of a systematic series of steps to reach a rational and optimal solution. Most real-world problems, however, are characterized by uncertainty, the need to consider an enormous number of variables and possible courses of action at each stage in…

Corman, Louise; Budoff, Milton – 1973
This study compared the effectiveness of a training procedure involving groups of elementary school students to an individualized training procedure, both of which utilized the Raven Learning Potential (LP) measure to assess improved performance. The development of a group training procedure using the Raven Progressive Matrices aimed at an…

Peer reviewedMolloy, G. N. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 1981
This study investigated some relationships between age, socioeconomic status (SES), and cognitive task performance among 120 Canadian children from Grades 1 and 4. Subjects were administered a battery of tasks, including Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices and Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, which differed in transformational requirements and…

Peer reviewedBlennerhassett, Lynne; And Others – American Annals of the Deaf, 1994
Investigation of criterion-related validity of test scores of 107 deaf residential adolescents found concurrent validity between the Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) and the Performance IQ of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, using both hearing and deaf norms. Predictive validity was supported by correlations between the SPM…

Ulibarri, Daniel – 1982
This project examined the hypothesis that different background experiences associated with cultural grouping may lead to differences in test-taking strategies which result in score differences extraneous to the abilities the test is intended to measure. Its purposes were to confirm (or disconfirm) the cultural differences hypothesis and to provide…

Hubbs-Tait, Laura – 1986
A task was developed to differentiate the reasoning of elementary school students in fifth, sixth, and seventh grades. Subjects completed 16 matrices containing two, three, or four dimensions and varying in the embeddedness of the dimensions. They also solved a formal operational task assessing ability to isolate, exclude, and include variables.…

Peer reviewedDillon, Ronna F. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1979
The Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices and a Piagetian battery were administered to a sample of hearing-impaired elementary school children under six different conditions. Results indicated that scores varied as a function of the degree and type of feedback or elaboration. (JKS)

Peer reviewedMills, Carol J.; Tissot, Sherri L. – Gifted Child Quarterly, 1995
The Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM) and the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) were evaluated as possible instruments for identifying academically talented students in minority populations. A significantly higher proportion of minority children scored well on the RPM than on a traditional measure. Issues and concerns about using the…

Peer reviewedCherkes-Julkowski, Miriam; And Others – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 1991
This study investigated the effects of prompting, or directing/controlling attention, during a reasoning task on the performance of 68 children with attention deficit disorders, learning disabilities, or no handicaps, in grades 1-12. All groups benefited from prompting, and prompting was related to a different set of cognitive processes in each…

Dillon, Ronna F. – 1979
The relationship of cognitive style variables and conditions of test administration was investigated in cognitive assessments of hearing-impaired children, aged six through eleven. One hundred-twenty children were given the Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM) and a Piagetian battery under one of six conditions of testing: (1) standard; (2)…
