White, W. Glenn – Psychology in the Schools, 1979
This study provides guidelines for practitioners to determine the minimum differences, in scaled score points, needed for statistical significance when applying the Bannatyne recategorization of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised subtests on a individual basis. (Author)

Gilbertson, Alan D. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1984
Examined the level of perceptual differentiation of 42 young adult drug addicts. Analysis of variance showed that addicts, like alcoholics, were less perceptually differentiated than normals. Correlational and/or multivariate procedures yielded significant relationships between differentiation, verbal and abstraction abilities, likelihood of…

Massong, Stefan R.; And Others – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1982
Investigated whether assertive and nonassertive individuals differ in defense mechanisms they most typically rely on when confronted with interpersonal stress and conflict. Results indicated assertive males and females both endorsed the most adaptive defense mechanism cluster, whereas nonassertive males and females endorsed more primitive defense…

Naglieri, Jack A. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1982
Indices of scatter on the WISC-R and McCarthy Scales were examined for 20 educable mentally retarded and 20 learning disabled children in relation to 20 matched controls and to standardization samples. Exceptional children exhibited more subtest scatter and variability than the standardization sample but not more than the control group. (Author/RD)

Corsale, Kathleen; Gitomer, Drew – 1979
Developmental and individual differences in mathematical aptitude were investigated as a function of knowledge structure and processing variables. Results indicated the relative importance of knowledge structure and strategy skills in aptitude test performance. Protocol data further elaborated the interrelationships between knowledge and process…

Cohen, Ronald L.; Gowen, Anne – Intelligence, 1978
Two experiments examined whether correlations between IQ and probed serial running memory depend on IQ-related individual differences in the retention of order information in short-term memory. Children's IQ correlated with memory, regardless of whether instructions emphasized serial or free recall; and with recent item but not recent order…

Raz, Naftali; And Others – Intelligence, 1983
The relationship between psychometric intelligence and rapid acoustic information processing was explored in two experiments using college students. Group differences occurred in threshold interstimulus intervals required for recognition and in speed. Results were interpreted as indicating better information processing efficiency (higher…

Holzman, Thomas G.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1982
Developmental differences in reasoning ability and item processing demands are analyzed in a study of cognitive determinants of number analogy performance in two IQ levels of elementary school children and college students. The amount of solution-related information in working memory was the crucial processing demand. Process differentiations of…

Snow, Richard E. – 1977
This report collects together three presentations given by the author at scientific and professional meetings during the Spring of 1977. The first discusses present views of the variety and complexity of individual differences among human beings in the context of current research on cognitive processing in learning and instruction. The second…

Shapira, Rina; Hadad, Menashe – Journal of Classroom Interaction, 1982
The relative influence of scholastic achievement, intelligence, athletic ability, and ethnic origin on the formation of friendships among pupils in two Israel elementary schools was explored. The most important factor was found to be similar academic achievement, followed by intelligence and athletic achievement. (Authors/PP)

Phelps, LeAdelle – Psychology in the Schools, 1996
Assesses the relationship of Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning scores to Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children II and Woodcock-Johnson-Revised results in three groups: (1) learning disabled children with reading difficulties; (2) attention deficit hyperactivity disorder children; and (3) nonhandicapped referred children. Total sample…

Vernon, Philip A.; Jensen, Arthur R. – 1983
In a study of the relationship between speed of information processing and general intelligence, vocational college students (50 black males and 56 white males) took eight different reaction time tests measuring the speed with which individuals perform various elementary cognitive processes, and a group test of scholastic aptitude (the Armed…

Samuel, William; And Others – 1974
While debates over the heritability of IQ and the potential for culture bias in measuring instruments have generated much research and public comment, it is also possible to investigate the significance of interracial differences in mean IQ by ignoring both the foregoing issues and instead examining the social psychology of the test situation…

Snyderman, Mark; Rothman, Stanley – Public Interest, 1986
The controversy over intelligence testing is more often influenced by political considerations than empirical research. A survey of 1,020 experts found that a majority agree that (1) intelligence can be defined; (2) heredity plays a role in individual and group IQ differences; and (3) intelligence testing in schools should continue at its present…

Cohen, Ronald L.; Nealson, Judi – Intelligence, 1979
Retarded subjects were compared with mental- and chronological-age matched controls on serial short-term memory (STM) tasks. Retarded subjects were inferior to the control groups on both primacy and recency items, under two recall conditions. These data are discussed in relation to possible mechanisms underlying IQ-related individual differences…
