Investigated Kaufman's procedures for determining intersubtest scatter on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised by means of Sattler's revised tables for determining significant subtest fluctuations. Results indicated that Sattler's revised tables yielded more conservative estimates of subtest scatter than those originally reported…

This study assessed the utility of Bannatyne's recategorization of the WISC-R with a group of 97 adjudicated adolescents who varied in intelligence. Findings affirmed the extension of Bannatyne's recategorization to samples other than genetic dyslexics and supported his major hypothesis of stronger spatial than sequential abilities. (Author/SJL)

Presents four tables for the statistical interpretation of factor scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. Provides the percentile equivalents of factor scores; the significance of differences between factor scores; the frequency with which specified discrepancies occur; the significance of differences between a factor score…

A study involving 98 children (6 to 13 years old) in ten learning disabilities (LD) classes investigated the hypothesized pattern of recategorized WISC-R (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised) subtest scores into spatial, conceptual, and sequential areas. (SBH)

The study evaluated speed as a factor in Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised performance with 66 high scoring and 36 average scoring children (ages 3-15 years). Results cast doubt on the utility of speed bonuses in tests of general intelligence with gifted children. (Author/DB)

Inter-rater reliability of the Goodenough-Harris and McCarthy Draw-A-Child scoring systems was examined for a sample of 60 children, including 20 school-labeled learning disabled, 20 mentally retarded, and 20 normal children between the ages of six and eight-and-one-half years. (Author)

Examined two scoring systems for Modified Version of the Bender-Gestalt Test. Administered Bender-Gestalt and Otis-Lennon School Ability Test to 75 first-grade and 84 second-grade students. Both systems were significantly correlated with school ability. Results of tests for differences between correlations indicated that Qualitative Scoring System…

Developed as part of the British Ability Scales for ages 2-17, the Social Reasoning Scale was initially based on Kohlberg's invariant moral development stages, although substantial modifications were later introduced. In its standardization, an age progression was noted. Administration procedures, scoring criteria, and an illustrative example are…

The purpose of this research was to further study the breadth and depth dimensions of the WAIS similarities and vocabulary subscales by factor analyzing several measures of intelligence: a comprehension index, SAT scores, and grade point average (GPA). (Author/SJL)

Results of applying different aptitude-achievement discrepancy models for test scores were compared for 150 second, 150 third, 150 fourth, and 130 fifth graders in several school systems in the Southeast who had been referred for psychoeducational testing for learning disabilities to determine whether different groups of students were identified…
