Navy enlisted personnel (N=60) were administered the Recall scale of the Kahn Intelligence Test (Experimental Form; KIT) and the Digit Span subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). Scores for the KIT tasks indicate a significant transfer of data to long-term memory. (Author)

The present study was undertaken with two related goals: (a) to examine the relationships between the WRAT and CAT, and (b) to examine the relationships which may exist between these academic achievement tests -nd a standard intelligence battery such as the Wechsler Scale. (Author)

Using multivariate profile analytic techniques and sampling from both brain-injured and psychiatric populations, results of this study provide strong evidence that the Satz-Mogel abbreviated Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) may be substituted for the standard WAIS for both general IQ assessment (in agreement with previous research) and…

Although authors have varied opinions, it is the general concensus that the WISC-R is superior to the WISC. This author concurs. However, serious consideration should be given to the research findings before the WISC-R is substituted freely for the WISC as a criterion for special education placement. (Author)

The results of the present study suggested that PPVT and SIT IQs are not directly comparable to the WISC-R IQs when the moderate to low correlation coefficents are considered. In addition, the SIT appears to be more comparable to the WISC-R than does either Form A or Form B of the PPVT. (Author)

It was concluded that the abbreviated WISC-R may be appropriate when intelligence is a question relative to candidacy for therapy or as a noncritical, general indication of intelligence when IQ classification is not important and/or assessment time is limited. (Author)

Investigated the efficacy of various WAIS short forms among outpatients. Results favor Pauker's (1963) short form but also show a decrease in correspondence between short-form and Full Scale scores when the short forms are administered separately. (Author/EJT)

The Performance Scale of the WISC-R was administered to 59 prelingually deaf children attending a state-supported day school program. The results compare favorably with those found by Wechsler with the standardization sample. (Author)

The data suggest that the WISC-R Verbal, Performance, and Full scales are almost equally lacking in racial bias and that all three scales are less biased than the PPVT. If the PPVT is used for initial screening, it will be important to follow up with a more thorough psychological evaluation. (Author)

A CONFERENCE WAS HELD FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING GUIDELINES FOR A STATUS SURVEY AND RESEARCH PROJECT IN AMERICAN INDIAN EDUCATION. THREE BACKGROUND PAPERS WERE PRESENTED WHICH PROVIDED AN HISTORICAL REVIEW OF PREVIOUS RESEARCH IN INDIAN EDUCATION, ANALYZED CURRENT RESEARCH, AND CONSIDERED CURRENT ACTION PROGRAMS. PANELISTS DISCUSSED THE KINDS…

Urban EMR students' WISC-R scores (N=20) were compared with their previously administered WISC scores. The results of this study indicated that WISC-R scores in comparison to WISC scores appeared to be more stable in the lower IQ ranges and less vulnerable to cultural bias. (Author)
