Purpose of this investigation is to develop a method of measuring tactile sensation regarding the texture, size, and shape of objects (stereognosis) in the hand of normal two- to four-year-old children. (Author)

Article reports on the testing of several diagnostic measures and a determination of what kinds of instructional groupings produce the most effective results in working with perceptive problems among kindergarten children. (Editor/MB)

A modified Lambert and Bower behavior rating scale is appended. (CJ)

The findings suggest that the AML Behavior Rating Scale is a promising mass screening device for the identification of children who are vulnerable to school failure. (Author)

Test is essentially uncorrelated with individual intelligence test results and underestimates systematically the intelligence of a substantial number of children. Its use as a screening device or as a measure of intelligence is questioned. (Author)

Pearson product-moment correlations were computed for selected subtests of The Gesell Developmental Test and The Meeting Street School Screening Test. The selected subtests are moderately correlated, suggesting that either test might be used in a battery. (Author)

Recall performance of 22 first-grade and third-grade children who failed memory portions of a speech-language-memory screen was examined using digit and consonant-vowel (CV) stimulus sets. Data indicate children failing the screening battery differed quantitatively, rather than qualitatively, from children passing the screening batter. (Author)

Investigated the possible use of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-168 as a screening instrument for identifying individuals (N=27) with borderline personality disorders. Results demonstrated that the MMPI-168 response pattern of borderline patients was clearly distinguishable from the great majority of college graduates. (WAS)

Screening tests indicated that 141 out of 106,565 infants examined in New York City during 1979-80, had various forms of sickle cell anemia. Follow-up of 131 patients confirmed the original diagnoses, suggesting that the New York City Follow-up Program for Sickle Cell Screening of newborns was successful. (Author/MJL)
