Reliability and Concurrent Validity of Light's Retention Scale.

Sandoval, Jonathan

Psychology in the Schools, v17 n4 p442-45 Oct 1980

Light's retention scale does not meet standards for a psychometric device for schools. Possibly because of low reliability, the total score was not found to have concurrent validity. The scale needs revision in item content to be accepted by teachers. (Author)
