Wu; Mustafa Sahin – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2025
Developmental domains, such as cognitive, language, and motor, are key concepts of interest in longitudinal studies of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Braden, Jeffery P.; Shaw, Steven R. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2009
The intervention validity of cognitive assessment batteries is considered within an historical context to identify what the evidence supports (knowns), what cannot be known (unknowables), and what is not yet known (unknowns). Two ways cognitive batteries could inform intervention are identified: a disordinal (i.e., aptitude-treatment interaction)…

Peer reviewedBernardi, Richard A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1994
Using a factorially complex test on a highly homogeneous population is explored, and a procedure is demonstrated that can statistically justify using a cognitive test on which Cronbach's alpha is low. The example involves 649 accountants (auditors). Results indicate that unbundling test and sample provides justification for using the data. (SLD)

Peer reviewedGuilmette, Thomas J.; Kennedy, Mary Lynne – Assessment, 1997
The Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML) (D. Sheslow and W. Adams, 1990) was given to 51 children. The General Memory Index (GMI) of the WRAML was compared with a short form of the WRAML, the Memory Screening Index (MSI). The MSI was higher than the GMI in 41 of 51 cases. (SLD)

Peer reviewedDennis, Martin J.; Sternberg, Robert J.; Beatty, Paul – Intelligence, 2000
Proposes a methodology and describes a test battery that synthesizes the psychometric strengths of maximal performance tests and the engagingness of typical-performance tests. Results with 31 adults show that the test measures the same abilities tapped by conventional cognitive tests but is viewed by examinees as less stressful, more interesting,…

Peer reviewedKarzmark, Peter – Assessment, 1997
The performance characteristics of the Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Exam (NCSE) (R. Kiernan and others, 1987) was studied with 50 outpatients, most with cognitive dysfunction using comprehensive neuropsychological assessment as the criterion.

Peer reviewedBack, Carla; Boone, Kyle Brauer; Edwards, Carol; Parks, Carlton; Burgoyne, Karl; Silver, Barbara – Assessment, 1996
The performance of 30 schizophrenic patients on three tests designed to detect malingering of cognitive symptoms was studied using the Rey 15-Item Test (A. Rey, 1964), the Rey Dot Counting Test (A. Rey, 1941 ), and the Hiscock Forced Choice Method (L. Pankratz, 1983). No test score was significantly related to psychiatric impairment. (SLD)
