Group Differences and Individual Classification Accuracy Associated with Letter/Word Oddity Problems.
Scott, Marcia S.; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1991
The study, comparing 27 pairs of mildly mentally retarded students and normal achievers (ages 6-8), found that mentally retarded subjects evidenced lower performance on experimental oddity problems but were able to generalize to very different oddity arrays. High levels of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive accuracy, and negative…

Performance on Torrance's Thinking Creatively in Action and Movement as a Predictor of Cognitive Development of Young Children.
Reisman, Fredericka K.; And Others – Creative Child and Adult Quarterly, 1981
Ss were administered Thinking Creatively in Action and Movement (TCAM), traditional Piagetian measures of conservation of number and mass, modification Piagetian tasks, and the Sequential Assessment Mathematics Inventory. Among findings was that creative thinking ability, as assessed by the TCAM, significantly predicts cognitive performances that…

The Validity, Long-Term Reliability, Generality, Robustness, and Inter-relatedness of Selected Repgrid Indices of Cognitive Structure.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Alban Metcalfe, R. J. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1978
Characteristics of 11 Repgrid indices of cognitive structure, particularly Smith and Leach's hierarchical complexity index, are investigated among boys and girls, aged 9-15. The Smith & Leach index is shown to be significantly reliable; but in common with seven indices of cognitive differentiation, it is of dubious validity. (Author/GDC)
