Reading-Retarded Icelandic Children: The Discriminant Validity of Psychological Tests.
Arnkelsson, Gudmundur B.
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v37 n2 p163-74 1993
Discriminant validity of several psychological tests was investigated for 24 reading-retarded and 23 normal Icelandic fifth graders. Differentiation was greatest on verbal intelligence and on various other verbal tests. Results indicate the need for an adequate intelligence measure in Iceland and development of refined measures of verbal skills. (SLD)
