Modeling Aptitude Test Validity from Cognitive Components.
Whitely, Susan E.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n6 p750-69 Dec 1980
Several issues about component validity are examined by using covariance modeling to test hypotheses about the relationships between components, aptitude, and achievement. Support was found for cognitive components to model individual differences in verbal aptitude, decompose test validity, and differentially predict achievement. (Author/GK)
