Cahan, Sorel; Noyman, Alon

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v61 n5 p827-40 Oct 2001

Studied the interpretation of scores on the Kaufman Ability Battery for Children(K-ABC) (Kaufman and Kaufman, 1983) as a measure of "Pure" intelligence in the Israeli standardization sample of 1,600 students in kindergarten through grade 8. Schooling was found to affect raw scores on all K-ABC mental processing scores, and the effects of schooling exceeded the effects of age for five of the eight subtests. (SLD)
