Administered standardized measures of cognitive ability, academic achievement, classroom learning behavior, and school social-emotional adjustment to students aged 6-17 years (N=1,268). Analyses revealed four distinct and reliable student performance factors (Disciplined Behavior, Motivation, Verbal Learning, Nonverbal Learning). The performance factors showed substantial and consistent relationships to independent measures of school achievement and to observations of problem behavior. (Contains 102 references and 6 tables.)
