Measuring and Validating Cognitive Modifiabilty as an Ability: A Study in the Spatial Domain.

Embretson, Susan E.

Journal of Educational Measurement, v29 n1 p25-50 Spr 1992

New developments for solving the validation problem are applied to measuring and validating spatial modifiability. Results from 582 Air Force recruits support construct and criterion-related validities for the cognitive modifiability of spatial visualization items. Results also support modifiability as a direct measurement of learning ability. (SLD)
