Bender Gestalt Test

Although the Bender-Gestalt test has proven adequate in differentiating groups of organic from groups of nonorganic Ss, attempts at individual diagnosis have frequently met with failure. Canter's Background Interference Procedure was designed to increase the sensitivity of the Bender test to the discernment of organic brain damage. The purpose of this paper was to check the validity of the Canter procedure, and to investigate its applicability to Hain's scoring system for the Bender test. 20 brain-damaged patients, 20 schizophrenics, and 20 nonorganic, non-brain-damaged patients were matched for age and intelligence. Each of these groups was further divided into outpatients and inpatients All patients were administered the Bender test on the standard white paper, the WAIS vocabulary subtest, and again the Bender test, on paper for the Background Interference Procedure. Significant results were obtained with the Background Interference administration for both Pascal-Suttell's and Hain's scoring systems where the standard administration had failed to yield significance. The tentative criteria proposed by Canter for individual diagnosis, however, were adequate for Pascal-Suttell's scoring system but not for Hain's method. Possible explanations for this disagreement, as well as suggestions for further research, are offered.

To test the efficiency of some commonly used rapid estimations of intelligence with the restricted range of talent represented in the typical college research population, the WAIS and Quick Test were administered to 56 college undergraduates. Additionally, the Shaw and Doppelt short forms of the WAIS were computed, the latter achieving the highest predictive accuracy by correlating .79 with the WAIS Full Scale IQ. The Quick Test attained the highest correlation (.67) with the Vocabulary subtest of the WAIS.

Different Levels

This paper presents a research criterion for memory impairment in aged persons based on the Guild Memory Test. Normative data for the test were collected from 228 community residents between 60 and 80 yr. of age. Separate norms were established for individuals aged 60 to 69 yr. and those beyond age 70 and, within both age groups, for persons at different levels of performance on the WAIS Vocabulary subtest. Discussion concerns the utility of the criterion.

A 3-year longitudinal study of the language performance of children from poverty was designed to address the problem of separating children with a specific language impairment (SLI) from low-scoring normal children in the borderline area on the continuum of language performance where normal ends and abnormal begins. Two approaches to definition were compared: an experimental approach (using story-retelling, rote-memory ability, and invented-morpheme learning) and a traditional approach (using standardized-test discrepancy scores). Results indicated that 6 of 34 children tracked from kindergarten through second grade appeared to be SLI at the end of the study. The best kindergarten predictor for the outcome status of these 6 children was a combination of the score on the Oral Vocabulary subtest of the TOLD-2P and the score on a combination of the experimental tasks. The best single kindergarten predictor of the academic status of the 15 children in the study who received academic remediation was story-retelling. Children’s scores on the experimental and standardized tests of language performance and nonverbal intelligence were profiled over the 3 years of the study, and patterns of change in many instances reveal the lifting of the early influences of poverty.

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—III and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised were given to 33 children (15 boys, 18 girls) who were enrolled in Grades 3, 4, and 5. The statistically significant correlations of .75, .76, and .60, respectively, between the Peabody Standard Score Equivalents and the Wechsler Vocabulary subtest scaled scores and the Wechsler Verbal and Full Scale IQs suggest that the Peabody appears to be a satisfactory screening test of intelligence for use with children in these grades.

Femininity Scale

In a group of 97 male chronic alcoholics and other addicts ( M age 37.7 yr., SD = 12.5), scores on the Raven's Matrices and on a multiple choice version of the WAIS Vocabulary subtest were significantly related to scores on the Masculinity-Femininity Scale of the MMPI: higher scorers on the scale had better intellectual skills.
