Philadelphia Public Schools, PA. – 1965
THE AIM WAS TO DETERMINE THE ACCURACY OF TEST SCORES IN PREDICTING FUTURE ACHIEVEMENT. A SOMEWHAT SHARPER AGREEMENT WAS FOUND BETWEEN EARLY PREDICTIVE FACTORS AND SCHOOL MARKS IN GRADE 9 THAN BETWEEN THESE FACTORS AND SCHOOL MARKS IN GRADES 11 AND 12. TWO REASONS FOR THIS DIFFERENCE ARE CITED. IF A PREDICTION FOR A PUPIL IS MADE AT GRADE 6, A…

Fleishman, Allen I. – 1978
A Monte Carlo study was performed to test under what conditions and to what degree various alternatives would be superior to multiple linear regression (MLR). The criteria used was the mean squared error of prediction of individual scores and the mean squared error of estimation of the regression weights. Populations were simulated containing…

Twa, Jim; And Others – 1980
The purpose of this study was to validate on a second sample of student teachers, prediction equations developed to predict performance in student teaching. The study was part of a longitudinal project. Equations tested in this study were produced in a previous study by subjecting to multiple regression techniques six biographical and 40…

McCormick, Ernest J.; And Others – 1977
A study dealt with the use of the Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ) within a job component validity framework as the basis for estimating aptitude requirements of jobs represented by scores on commercially available tests as contrasted with scores on General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB) tests. Procedures generally consisted of the use of job…

State Univ. of New York, Syracuse. Office of Admissions Program. – 1965
A 10-YEAR LONGITUDINAL STUDY WAS UNDERTAKEN TO DETERMINE HOW CHANGE IS AFFECTED BY CURRICULUM, COMMUNITY, AND SCHOOL, AND BY THE STUDENTS' ABILITY, SEX, OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES, HOME LIFE, AND READING HABITS. IN 1961, A NATIONWIDE SAMPLE OF 32,000 CHILDREN IN GRADES 5, 7, 9, AND 11 TOOK A BATTERY OF TESTS. THERE HAVE BEEN PERIODIC RETESTINGS, TO BE…

Newell, John M. – 1966
To examine the use of creativity measures as supplementary, supportive data in college admissions procedures, and to examine the relationships between level of aspiration measures, actual college performance, and creativity measure performance, 18 high- and low-risk freshmen entering Tufts University completed three creativity measures and the…

Prediger, Dale J.; And Others – 1967
Data from over 1,200 correlations reported in 38 studies concerning validity of aptitude and achievement predictors of success in high school vocational programs are summarized. Predictors investigated were (1) verbal intelligence, (2) nonverbal intelligence and abstract reasoning, (3) arithmetic reasoning, (4) spatial aptitude, (5) mechanical…

Baker, Eva L. – 1968
The following criticism of current practices for determining reading readiness are discussed: (1) the variables measured by readiness tests are in many cases unrelated to instruction, (2) while the variables measured are correlated with reading achievement, this association does not attribute causality, and (3) the criterion selected for measuring…

Watson, Walter S. – 1969
The report describes a new kind of psychological testing machine, the Logical Analysis Device (LAD), and the attempts to use it for predicting academic grades of 97 freshmen engineering students at The Cooper Union in 1958, 77 of whom were re-tested in 1962. The LAD system allows a subject to proceed in his own way and at his own pace to solve…

Comparing Reading Expectancy Formulae After Converting the Expectancy Scores to Expectancy Stanines.
Smith, Lawrence L. – 1976
Rather than abandon reading expectancy formulae because they produce different reading expectancy scores, educators should attempt to improve such formulae in order to make appropriate decisions about students. Potential reading levels derived from the use of various expectancy formulae may be compared after converting the scores to stanines,…

The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale was administered to 143 healthy newborns. Infants were divided into average-superior and worrisome groups based on the rating of their performance on the "a priori" dimensions and overall profile. Twelve risk variables were entered into a stepwise discriminant analysis for each dimension…
