Peer reviewedKunce, Joseph T.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1976
The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale was administered to 30 male criminally insane patients and 15 violent convicts. The latter had similar subtest score configurations and the mean similarities ratio score for the violent group was significantly lower than that of the nonviolent group. (Author/SE)

Peer reviewedHale, Robert L. – Journal of School Psychology, 1981
Investigated the efficacy of predicting academic achievement as measured by the Wide Range Achievement Test using the factor scores of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised as potential predictors. Results indicated that the freedom from distractibility factor score significantly aided in the prediction of reading and spelling…

Factor Analysis of Breadth and Depth Dimensions on Wechsler's Similarities and Vocabulary Subscales.
Peer reviewedBailey, Kent G.; Federman, Edward J. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1979
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)

This study seeks to determine the degree to which certain behavioral measures interact with intelligence, whether in a linear or curvilinear fashion, to help one predict academic achievement in Head Start children to a greater degree than would be possible were intelligence test performance alone used as the predictor variable. Children were…

Peer reviewedVernon, Philip A. – Intelligence, 1983
This study investigated the relationship between measures of speed of cognitive information processing and intelligence test scores. Cognitive processing measures were significantly related to IQ scores. Reaction time tests measure cognitive operations basic to intelligence, and individual differences in intelligence are partly due to variability…

Christopher, James D.; And Others – 1986
A discriminant analysis was performed to ascertain what psycho-educational assessment variables made the greatest predictive contribution to the classification of high school students referred for Child Study Team evaluation. Thirty-nine students classified as learning disabled were compared to 47 classified as ineligible for special services.…

Hathaway, Walter Ennis, Jr. – 1972
The nature of the relations between traditional psychometric and Piagetian instruments is analyzed, in order to provide information relevant to the question of which type of test or combination of them will provide the most useful information to those seeking to construct and maintain optimal learning environments. Four hypotheses are posed: (1)…

Hopkins, Kenneth D. – 1971
The stability and change of verbal, non-verbal, and total IQ scores from group tests were investigated for students tested at Grades 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, and 11. Conclusions are discussed in detail, and the following recommendations are made: (1) Group intelligence tests should not be routinely administered in Grades 1 and 2 unless the users and…

Mercer, Jane R.; Smith, Joyce M. – 1972
An intensive analysis of the relative value of using the Vocabulary and Block Design subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) to predict Full Scale IQ based on six verbal and five performance WISC subtests was conducted. The tests were administered to 1,310 6 to 11 year old Anglo, Negro, and Mexican-American school children.…
