This, Part I of a longer work, is a study of the automatic recovery from speech defects. (CH)

A procedure for estimating the degree to which a subtest uniquely contributes to total test performance is presented and discussed. Uniqueness analysis may be appropriately applied to any composite measurement instrument such as a multipart test or a multitest battery to assess the unique contribution of each component to the total test. The…

One specific correction model suggested by Cohen and Cohen (1975) is applied to data collected in the evaluation of a large-scale quasi-experimental program (Project Follow Through), and the effects of different assumptions about test reliability on the analysis results and on the conclusions of the evaluators are examined. The study determines…

This study reports the development of a sentence preference test designed to contrast tendencies to abstract, generalise and particularise in thinking. (Editor)

The 1966 SVIB scoring keys were investigated and found to contain an average of 214 fewer items per occupational scale than the 1938 scoring keys. The shorter scales are less reliable than the longer scales on the 1966 SVIB. (Author)

The Group Atmosphere Scale (GAS) was developed to measure systematically the psychosocial environment of therapy groups. Twelve content subscales, each containing 10 true-false items, assess the consensual psychosocial environment. Several of these serve as indicators of group cohesion and conformity. The GAS makes feasible a comparison of…

Recounts the negative experiences two cities had with districtwide testing programs. (IRT)

Using the Hutt Adaption of the Bender-Gestalt Test (HABGT), this study explored the test-retest reliability of the scale with forty process schizophrenics over a two week interval. (Author/DEP)

Reviews the 1974 Standards, an updating serving as a guide to test making and publishing, and training of persons for these endeavors. (DEP)

Describes a revised version of the Preschool Racial Attitude Measure, designated PRAM II, and presents initial standardization data for the new procedure. (Author/RC)

Reliability and concurrent validity data for the (SCII) were developed for a sample of 180 students. Two-week test-retest reliability correlations were approximately .90. Agreement between high scores and self-reported curriculum and occupational preferences ranged from 32 percent to 60 percent. Scoring on all Occupational scales produces…

State wide, nation-wide, and international tests of students' knowledge hinder the creative talents of students by forcing homogeneity instead of variety in curriculum and teaching. (DE)
