Generational IQ
Cognitive changes throughout the lifespan have been explored through cross-sectional, longitudinal, and quasilongitudinal approaches. Much of this research indicates that cognitive abilities in the adult period have followed a typical pattern of decline, with sustained verbal intelligence (i.e., Verbal Comprehension Index) to later adulthood and steadily declining performance-based abilities (i.e., Visual Spatial Index, Fluid Reasoning Index, Wor…
Fat Phobia Among Youth Sport Coaches
Body weight is a common reason youth face stigma, yet it has received little attention from athletic coaches working closely with youth of diverse sizes. The present study assessed weight bias in middle and high school athletic coaches ( N = 320) via a survey of demographic characteristics and explicit weight bias ( Fat Phobia Scale-Short Form). Results indicate moderate levels of bias ( M = 3.44, SD = 0.42), with mean scores slightly lower compa…
Bayley‐4 performance of very young children with autism, developmental delay, and language impairment
Early identification of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) provides the best opportunity for children to receive evidence‐based early intervention. Research indicates that accurate diagnosis can be made as early as the toddler period when an assessment is completed by experienced clinicians. Typical ASD evaluations involve an assessment of developmental skills, such as those measured with the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Fourth Ed…
It Can Be Very Tempting to Throw Out the Baby With the Bathwater
In this commentary, both father and son respond to the target article (Richardson and Norgate, this issue) from different perspectives. The son, a creativity researcher, generally echoes Richardson and Norgate's arguments, arguing for the construct of creativity to be considered as a supplement to IQ tests for predicting work success. The father, an IQ test developer, is more critical of some of Richardson and Norgate's conclusions and points to …
Intra-Individual Subtest Variability on the Dutch Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children—Revised (Wisc–R NL ) for Children with Learning Disabilities, Psychiatric Disorders, and Epilepsy
It is common practice to look at disparities among subtest scores ("scatter") on an intelligence test to establish if a score is deviant. However, it remains unclear whether subtest scatter reflects primarily normal variation within individuals or is clinically meaningful. The present study explored this issue based on data from 467 children with developmental disabilities tested on the Dutch WISC-R(NL). Of these children, 132 had learning disabi…

Development and Validation of a Rasch-Derived CES-D Short Form.
The current study presents a Rasch-derived short form of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale (CES-D) for use as a depression screening tool in the general population. In contrast to short forms developed with reliance on classical measurement techniques, those developed using techniques based on item response theory produce a measure that offers true interval scaling, provide enhanced information about responders with extreme sc…
Emotional intelligence as an aspect of general intelligence
R. D. Roberts, M. Zeidner, and G. Matthews (2001) have carefully examined the controversial issue of whether emotional intelligence (EI) should be classified as an intelligence and whether EI's constructs meet the same psychometric standards as general intelligence's constructs. This article casts their efforts into the framework of both historical and modern IQ-testing theory and research. It details David Wechsler's attempts to integrate EI int…

K–ABC Simultaneous Processing, Das Nonverbal Reasoning, and Horn's Expanded Fluid-Crystallized Theory
Horn's distinction between--fluid intelligence (Gf) and visualization (Gv) was investigated with two Nonverbal Reasoning subtests from the Differential Ability Scales and three Simultaneous Processing subtests from the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children. The sample comprised a predominantly Euro-American groups of 57 normal boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 12 years. Principal factor analysis yielded clear-cut Gf and Gv dimensions. Th…
Profiles of Hispanic Adolescents and Adults on the Holland Themes and Basic Interest Scales of the Strong Interest Inventory
The Strong Interest Inventory and its predecessors have been the subject of decades of research. Many studies have used Holland's Six General Occupational Themes, and some have explored the 23 Basic Interest Scales. The literature addresses IQ in vocational counseling and includes studies relating Holland's themes and the 23 interest scales. The subjects included a nationwide sample of 894 13- to 65-yr.-olds tested during the standardization of t…
Correlations between Two Short Cognitive Tests and a Wisc-III Short Form Using a Sample of Adolescent Inpatients
A new short form of the WISC-III was examined with a clinical adolescent sample (N = 30) and the short form estimate of WISC-III Full Scale IQ also served as the criterion for validating two brief cognitive measures, the Kaufman Functional Academic Skills Test (K-FAST) and the K-SNAP. Data supported the brevity of the WISC-III short form and the criterion-related validity of both the K-FAST and and Kaufman Short Neuropsychological Assessment Proc…
Interrater Reliability of the Written Expression Subtest of the Peabody Individual Achievement Test-Revised
This study examined the interrater reliability of the measure of written expression in the Peabody Individual Achievement Test-Revised. A sample more diverse in years of education and age than the normed population was used in this study. Fifty subjects from California, comprised of 72% females and 74% Caucasians, and ranging in age from 13 to 46, comprised the sample. Subjects were administered the "box" prompt from the PIAT-R Written Expression…
Factor Structure of the Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test (Kait) for Whites, African Americans, and Hispanics
Factor-analyzed data for three race/ethnic groups on the Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test (KAIT) for people ages 11 to 93 are reported. Factor structures for Whites (N= 1,535), African Americans (N = 226), and Hispanics (N = 140) yielded Fluid and Crystallized dimensions that were congruent across race/ethnic groups and provided construct validity evidence for each subsample. The "g" factors for the three samples yielded congruence …
White-Black and White-Hispanic Differences on Fluid and Crystallized Abilities by Age across the 11- to 94-Year Range
Standardization data for the Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test (KAIT) were used to examine white-black and white-Hispanic differences on the Horn-Cattell crystallized and fluid constructs at several age groups across the broad 11- to 94-year span. Samples included 1,547 white, 241 black, and 140 Hispanic persons. Multivariate analyses with educational attainment covaried yielded only one significant finding: the white-black differenc…
Relationships among Defensive Styles, Cognitive Styles, Processing Styles, and Attentional Styles of Normal Adolescents
Cognitive and psychodynamic theorists agree that an individual's personality and behavior are determined by both cognitive and dynamic processes. This study examined the relationship among three cognitive approaches--cognitive style, attentional style, and processing style--and examined their relations to defensive style. Adolescents from Grades 11 and 12 (146 boys, 164 girls) were examined in groups for cognitive style (Group Embedded Figures Te…
The Canonical Relationship Between the Wisc-R Verbal and Performance Scales
The canonical relationship of the WISC-R Verbal and Performance scales was investigated and found to be similar to that of the WAIS-R, but less strong. The two scales share 46% of their variance. Independent interpretation of the Verbal and Performance scales was supported
Estimation of the Differences Between Wisc-R and Wisc IQS
The purpose of the study was to estimate the magnitude of the differences between IQs obtained from WISC-R and those from the original WISC. The 1949 WISC and the 1974 WISC-R were reviewed to identify a common core of items. Regression equations were developed for the 1949 sample, by age level, to predict WISC IQs from the common core. These equations were then used to estimate the WISC IQs of those in the WISC-R standardization sample. In the ag…
Factor Structure of the McCarthy Scales At Five Age Levels Between 21⁄2 and 81⁄2
The McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) were factor analyzed at five age levels: 21⁄2, 3-31⁄2, 4-41⁄2, 5-51⁄2, and 61⁄2-71⁄2-81⁄2. The standardization sample (N = 1032) provided the source of data. Varimax rotated factors akin to four of the six MSCA Scales— General Cognitive, Verbal, Memory, and Motor—appeared at age 21⁄2, and tended to appear at all older age levels. Factors akin to the Perceptual-Performance and Quantitative Scales …
