Partenio, Ingrid; Taylor, Ronald L. – School Psychology Review, 1985
A multiple regression analysis was conducted using teacher rating items as criterion variables and age, sex, race, weight, height, physical dexterity, and intelligence quotient (IQ) as predictor variables. Moderate correlations were noted. Implications of the results are discussed regarding relative bias of psychometric instruments and teacher…

Mayes, Susan Dickerson; Waschbusch, Daniel A.; Calhoun, Susan L.; Mattison, Richard E. – Exceptionality, 2020
Little is known about the characteristics of academic overachievers, children whose achievement significantly exceeds IQ. Correlates of overachievement (achievement test scores = 1 SD above IQ), nondiscrepant achievement, and learning disability (LD; achievement = 1 SD below IQ) were analyzed in 1,543 children (739 ADHD, 285 autism, and 519…

Nelson, Timothy D.; James, Tiffany D.; Nelson, Jennifer Mize; Tomaso, Cara C.; Espy, Kimberly Andrews – Developmental Psychology, 2022
This study examined the factor structure of executive control throughout elementary school, as well as associations between executive control abilities in preschool and elementary school. Data were drawn from a longitudinal study of executive control development in a community sample of children (N = 294; 53% female, 47% male) oversampled for low…

Warmingham, Jennifer M.; Handley, Elizabeth D.; Russotti, Justin; Rogosch, Fred A.; Cicchetti, Dante – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Decision-making impairments during emerging adulthood confer risk for challenges in social and occupational roles and may increase the odds of developing health problems. Childhood maltreatment is related to maladaptation in cognitive and affective domains (e.g., executive functioning, emotion regulation) implicated in the development of…

Konold, Timothy R.; Canivez, Gary L. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2010
Considerable debate exists regarding the accuracy of intelligence tests with members of different groups. This study investigated differential predictive validity of the "Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition". Participants from the WISC-IV--WIAT-II standardization linking sample (N = 550) ranged in age from 6 through…

Olofson, Mark W. – International Journal of Education and Practice, 2017
Over half of the children in the U.S. experience adversity early in childhood. These experiences, along with conditions in their families and neighborhoods, have profound developmental effects. The bioecological model of development includes these proximal contexts in a theory of development that incorporates the threats and supports present in…

Reynolds, Cecil R.; Hartlage, Lawrence – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1979
Compared regression lines for prediction of Wide Range Achievement Test scores by Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and revised WISC Full Scale IQs across race. Results support the use of a common regression line in the prediction of achievement scores for races. (Author)

Reams, Redmond; And Others – Gifted Child Quarterly, 1990
The study evaluated speed as a factor in Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised performance with 66 high scoring and 36 average scoring children (ages 3-15 years). Results cast doubt on the utility of speed bonuses in tests of general intelligence with gifted children. (Author/DB)

Reynolds, Cecil R.; Hartlage, Lawrence C. – 1978
Regression lines for the prediction of Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) scores by Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and WISC Revised (WISC-R) intelligence quotients were compared across race, by the Potoff technique. Subjects were 36 black and 30 white children who were referred for psychological evaluation because of learning or…

Reynolds, Cecil R.; Gutkin, Terry B. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 1980
Regression lines for the prediction of achievement were compared across race through the Potthoff analysis, which provides a simultaneous test of slope and intercept values. Results of these comparisons generally supported the predictive validity of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised across race with this referral sample of young…

Jacobs, John F.; DeGraaf, Carl A. – 1972
A research study is reported which investigated the influence of the variables of race (examiner and child race) and expectancy (high and low) upon the scoring of individual IQ tests. Video tapes of two children (one black, one white, 10 years old, in the 85 to 95 IQ range) being administered the Wischler Intelligence Scale for Children were shown…
