The Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test and Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised: Relationship to Everyday Memory Impairment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Koltai, Deborah C.; Bowler, Rosemarie M.; Shore, Michael D. – Assessment, 1996
A comparison of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (B. Wilson, 1987) and the Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised conducted with 20 neurotoxin-exposed and 20 unexposed adults finds that the two tests do not differ significantly in their relationships to estimates of everyday memory, and using both tests does not improve prediction of memory function.…

An Empirical Comparison of the Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised and the Memory Assessment Scales in Measuring Four Memory Constructs.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hilsabeck, Robin C.; Dunn, John T.; Lees-Haley, Paul R. – Assessment, 1996
The Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised (D. Wechsler, 1987) and the Memory Assessment Scales (J. Williams, 1991) were administered to 30 head-injury patients, and results were compared across four dimensions of memory. Results suggest that these scales measure different abilities and are not comparable tests. (SLD)

Comparison of the Halstead-Reitan and Infrared Light Beam Finger Tappers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Coleman, A. Rand; Moberg, Paul J.; Ragland, J. Daniel; Gur, Ruben C. – Assessment, 1997
Measures of repetitive finger movement are used in neuropsychological evaluation of children and adults. A comparison of the Light Beam Finger and Foot Tapping Device with the Halstead-Reitan Finger Tapping Test (R. Reitan, 1979) for 33 adults shows similar psychometric properties for both and moderate to high correlations between the measures.…

Comparative Test-Retest Stability of Four WAIS-R Selected Subtest Short Forms in Persons 75 to 87 Years.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ryan, Joseph J.; And Others – Assessment, 1994
The retest stability of four Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) short forms (Kaufman, Ishikuma, and Kaufman-Packer; Reynolds, Wilson and Clark; Silverstein; Ward) was investigated with 61 subjects aged 75 to 87 years. Short form stability in each instance was comparable to that of the standard WAIS-R. (SLD)

Shipley Institute for Living Scale and the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test as Screening Instruments for Intelligence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bowers, Timothy L.; Pantle, Mark L. – Assessment, 1998
The comparability of two adult intelligence tests, the Shipley Institute for Living Scale (SILS) (W. Shipley, 1940) and the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (A. Kaufman and N. Kaufman, 1990) were studied with 30 college students and 50 adults from forensic settings. Findings show that better-educated and more-relaxed clients may prefer the SILS.…

The Equivalence of the MMPI and MMPI-2.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gaston, Michele F.; And Others – Assessment, 1994
Comparability of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the MMPI-2 was explored by examining T-score means, profile configurations, score distribution, and rank-order correlations on validity scales for 84 undergraduates. Equivalency of the two forms was generally supported. (SLD)

Cause Indicator Models for the Cognitive Component of the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment--Short Form.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ferron, John; And Others – Assessment, 1995
Two cause indicator models were formulated to link items of the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment--Short Form to the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test--Revised. These models were tested with data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (506 and 345 children), and a final model was developed. (SLD)
