van der Ende, Jan; Verhulst, Frank C.; Tiemeier, Henning – Psychological Assessment, 2012

Wardman, Janna – Gifted and Talented International, 2014
The voices of parents are not often heard in the literature and, when they are, it tends to be a litany of battles with the schooling system to achieve or not achieve some sort of acceleration for their gifted children (Gross, 2004). This retrospective study is unusual, as it is not based on a history of conflict. It is a positive account of…

Dykiert, Dominika; Gale, Catharine R.; Deary, Ian J. – Intelligence, 2009
This study investigated the possibility that apparent sex differences in IQ are at least partly created by the degree of sample restriction from the baseline population. We used a nationally representative sample, the 1970 British Cohort Study. Sample sizes varied from 6518 to 11,389 between data-collection sweeps. Principal components analysis of…

Peer reviewedCiaccio, N. V. – Developmental Psychology, 1971
Two basic postulates, (1) ego stage progression with increasing age, and (2) development of the ego as it meets the different crisis elements of the ego stages, were tested on a sample of 120 5-, 8-, and 11-year-old boys, using a projective instrument and a coding system. The first postulate found preliminary confirmation; the validity of the…

Discusses Russell's (1975) system for administering and scoring the Logical Memory and Visual Reproduction subtests of the Wechsler Memory Scale.
