AbstractA common practice in the field of learning disabilities is analysis of ability‐achievement discrepancies. The reliability of discrepancy scores is an important statistic in such decision making. In this study, selected ability and achievement devices were administered to a sample of low achievers (N= 99), and the reliability of various difference scores was analyzed. In all cases, the reliabilities of difference scores were moderately high. Reliabilities of differences for devices normed on the same population and differences for devices normed on different populations were comparable. These results are discussed in light of current psychometric practice

摘要:

AbstractA series of item analyses of the CAK‐C was conducted for a sample of 155 educable mentally retarded children. The probability of a correct response was found to differ from task to task, and there was evidence that the order of difficulty of the tasks for this sample resembled that for nonretarded children. The probabilities of the two incorrect responses were generally not equal, and the choice of one or the other incorrect response showed some relation to CA, MA, and IQ, particularly the last two variable

摘要:

AbstractThe present article calls into question the use of the WRAT as a criterion measure for determining ability/achievement discrepancies in young school‐aged children. It is demonstrated that the use of regression equations to predict the expected achievement levels of five‐ and six‐year‐old children on the WRAT still does not rectify the difficulties in identifying underachievement for children in the lower primary grades. Implications for the early identification of specific learning disabilities are di

摘要:

AbstractA recommendation that Mazes be substituted for Coding in the assessment of giftedness with the WISC‐R was investigated by including both subtests in the evaluation of 50 children referred for verification of eligibility. Scaled scores on Mazes were significantly higher than those on Coding for the group, although the proportion of children meeting the established criterion was similar under inclusion of either subtest in the computation of Full Scale Scores. These data offer general support for the selective inclusion of Mazes in this type of assessmen

摘要:

AbstractResearch involving standardized reading achievement tests has been widespread, but there has been little investigation into the relationships among the more widely used tests of reading achievement. In the present study, the Reading subtest of the WRAT, the Reading Comprehension subtest of the PIAT, and the SORT were compared with each other and with the WISC‐R. Results showed a high correlation between the WRAT and the PIAT, a moderately high correlation between the SORT and the PIAT, and a very low correlation between the SORT and the WRAT. The WRAT and the PIAT had higher correlations with the various components of the WISC‐R than did the SORT. These findings imply that the WRAT and the PIAT measure essentially the same dimension of reading achievement, possibly verbal fluency, but that the SORT is measuring a different dimension, one that is also tapped to some extent by the P

摘要:

AbstractThe reliability and validity of the WRAT were investigated with 191 Mexican‐American children. Internal consistency reliability coefficients for the WRAT were found to be high and comparable to those reported in the WRAT manual. Correlations between the WRAT subtests and those of the MAT all were significant and suggested moderate to high relationship between these two measures. It was concluded that the WRAT meets minimum requirements of reliability and validity with Mexican‐American child

摘要:

AbstractA comparison was made of bilingual Puerto Rican students' scores on the WISC‐R and the Escala de Inteligencia Wechsler Para Ninos to see whether there were any differences in scores based on the language in which they were tested. These children were determined to be equally proficient in English and Spanish, based on scores from the Dailey Language Facility Test. There were no significant differences between the Full Scale and the Verbal Scale scores on both tests, but significant differences were found between the Verbal and Performance Scale scores on both tests. Caution in testing bilingual children before determination of bilinguality, as well as further research into development of intelligence tests for individual culture groups, is recommende

摘要:

AbstractThis paper presents the Source of Stress Inventory, an adaptation of Coddington's Life Events of children, which was designed for use in schools and clinics as part of the intake/referral procedures for children with emotional adjustment problems. It provides a means of systematically examining the sources of psychological stress in the assessment process.

摘要:

AbstractMuch effort has been devoted to the derivation of short forms of intelligence tests. The present study was undertaken to develop a short form of the WISC‐R for the intellectually gifted. The results confirmed previous findings that the Vocabulary and Block Design dyad comprise the best two‐subtest short form. The present study indicated that the Similarities, Vocabulary, Block Design, and Object Assembly tetrad could be the most useful in time and reliabil

摘要:

AbstractComparisons of the revised PPVT (PPVT‐R) and the WISC‐R were made with 67 EMR students. Significant differences were found between the PPVT‐R mean standard scores and Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs. The PPVT‐R did not correlate significantly with the WISC‐R scales or subtests, suggesting the tests are measuring different
