• On the Use of the Wisc—R Supplementary Subtests as Alternates

  Open Access•A B Silverstein•ARTICLE•Psychological Reports•1989

  Incluir item

  If a regularly administered WISC-R subtest cannot be administered properly or is invalidated, the manual suggests that a supplementary subtest, either Digit Span or Mazes, can serve as a substitute, but perhaps prorating the sum of scaled scores on the remaining subtests would be better. Data from the WISC-R standardization sample were analyzed to investigate the psychometric properties of these two variants of the standard procedure. Proration c…

• Note on the Parallel Analysis Criterion for Determining the Number of Common Factors or Principal Components

  Open Access•A B Silverstein•ARTICLE•Psychological Reports•1987

  A brief history of parallel analysis is given, and the application of the parallel analysis criterion is illustrated with three examples, using both squared multiple correlations and unities in the diagonal. Investigators are encouraged to employ this as one criterion in deciding on the number of factors or components

• Nonstandard Standard Scores on the New Vineland

  Open Access•A B Silverstein•ARTICLE•Psychological Reports•1987

  Incluir item

  In their response to the charge of nonstandard standard scores on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Cicchetti and Sparrow have misconstrued my statistical analysis, and their own is seriously flawed. Additional evidence is given that fluctuations in the standardization data cannot be attributed to “sampling variability.”

• Statistical Power Lost and Statistical Power Regained

  Open Access•A B Silverstein•ARTICLE•Educational and Psychological…•1986

  Incluir item

  The Bonferroni procedure controls the risk of rejecting one or more true null hypotheses no matter how many significance tests are performed, but permits the risk of failing to reject false null hypotheses to grow with the number of tests. The loss of statistical power associated with the use of this procedure is demonstrated, and two options for alleviating the problem are explored. Setting a less stringent significance level for the set of test…

• Organization and Structure of the Detroit Tests of Learning Aptitude (DTLA-2)

  Open Access•A B Silverstein•ARTICLE•Educational and Psychological…•1986

  Incluir item

  The intercorrelations among the 11 subtests of the DTLA-2 for a portion of the standardization sample were subjected to both factor analysis and cluster analysis. None of the resulting factors or clusters corresponded exactly to any of the eight composites into which the subtests are partitioned, nor did the composites account well for the intercorrelations. Thus the organization of the DTLA-2 does not appear to reflect the actual structure of th…

  The intercorrelations among the 12 subtests of the WISC-R were analyzed for each of the 11 age groups in the standardization sample. Clusters were found that corresponded to the Verbal and Performance Scales, but there was also some evidence of a third group of subtests, drawn from both scales. The results were in general agreement with those of previous research in which factor analysis was applied to the same data

  Two methods of estimating the general factor ( g) in the WISC-R were compared, using the standardization data for the scale. Estimates of the mean g-loading across subtests and age groups were .63 for one method and .59 for the other. Although this difference was statistically significant, the two methods appear to provide closely comparable results. When corrected for attenuation, means increased to .71 and .67, respectively, but the subtest loa…

  Three methods of estimating the general factor (g) in the WISC and the WAIS were compared, using the standardization data for the two scales. Estimates of the mean g-loading across subtests and age levels ranged from .57 to .63 for the WISC and from .73 to .76 for the WAIS. Although differences among these estimates were statistically significant, it was concluded that the three methods provide closely comparable results

  Two questionnaires, administered to selected treatment staff of institutions for retarded persons, discriminated not only among living units within these facilities but among the facilities themselves, were only minimally related to the staffs' background characteristics, and were relatively stable over time. Consequently these instruments show promise for determining the differential effects of various residential or treatment environments upon …

  Rules are presented for choosing error terms in complete factorial designs with equal replications. Since the paradigm from which they were derived can be generalized to designs with any number of factors, the same would appear to be true of these rules, if one accepts the Anderson-Bancroft position and follows the “never pool” procedure

  The primary consideration in deciding whether to use a short form in place of the Full Scale WISC or WAIS is the specific purpose to which the results will be put. For a comprehensive assessment of intellectual functioning, no one would seriously advocate the use of a short form, but to obtain an IQ for screening purposes, there are combinations of three or even two subtesrs that may suffice, as Wechsler (1958) himself has observed. The purpose o…

  Portions of the standardization data for the DTVP, the ITPA, the WPPSI, the WISC, and the WAIS were analyzed to determine the variance components of their subtests. The use of the squared multiple correlation as a measure of the common variance throughout the analysis permits valid comparisons to be made among the five tests, and the findings also provide an empirical standard for evaluating the specific variance in other tests

  WISC short forms that entail the differential weighting of subtest scores may be expected to afford something of an advantage over those that require only simple summation. Finley and Thompson (195s) have constructed such a short form especially for use with the mentally retarded, but in another context, these same investigators observed that if the correlations with the Full Scale are comparable and the standard errors of estimate not greatly di…
