The Development and Validation of a Group Test of Logical Thinking.
Tobin, Kenneth G.; Capie, William
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v41 n2 p413-23 Sum 1981
The Test of Logical Thinking was designed to measure five modes of formal reasoning: controlling variables, proportional reasoning, combinatorial reasoning, probabilistic reasoning, and correlational reasoning. Analysis of data from students, grades 6-16 indicated high test reliability and confirmed that the test measures one underlying dimension, formal thought. (Author/BW)
