In this study, we examined genetic and environmental influences on covariation among two reading tests used in neuropsychological assessment (Cambridge Contextual Reading Test [CCRT], [Beardsall, L., and Huppert, F. A. (1994). J. Clin. Exp. Neuropsychol. 16:232-242], Schonell Graded Word Reading Test [SGWRT], [Schonell, F. J., and Schonell, P. E. (1960). Diagnostic and attainment testing. Edinb...

Test-retest performance on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) of two groups of adult epilepsy patients are presented and compared. In one group, Seizures Improved (SI) group, seizure frequency had decreased during the test-retest interval, and in the other group, Seizures Unimproved (SU) group, the number of seizures had either increased or stayed the same over the test-retest interva...

　Introduction: The present post-eventual research study was conducted with the purpose of comparing the memory performance between two distinct groups of 50 healthy children and 50 attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children (25 girls and 25 boys) in Tehran with an age range of 10-12. Methods: The whole students were selected through simple random sampling method and were assessed ...

Growth of so‰ware size, lack of resources to perform regression testing, and failure to detect bugs faster have seen increased reliance on continuous integration and test automation. Even with greater hardware and so‰ware resources dedicated to test automation, so‰ware testing is faced with enormous challenges, resulting in increased dependence on complex mechanisms for automated test case sele...

The ability to plan and execute goal specific actions in varied, unexpected settings is a central requirement of intelligent agents. In this paper, we explore how an agent can be equipped with an internal model of the dynamics of the external world, and how it can use this model to plan novel actions by running multiple internal simulations (“visual imagination”). Our models directly process ra...

The present study examined the concurrent validity and diagnostic efficiency of the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT). Seventy-five students with learning disability were administered the K-BIT, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for ChildrenThird Edition (WISC-III), and Woodcock-Johnson-Revised Tests of Achievement (WJ-R ACH) as part of their triennial reevaluation. Correlations between the K-B...

Methods 42 caregivers of patients followed in our outpatient pediatric rheumatology clinic participated in this study, classified according to good or bad adhesion to treatment, according to the Morisky Green drug adhesion test. The sample was selected consecutively. We used a standard questionnaire to verify the socioeconomic level, the Family Apgar scale to verify family functioning, The Wech...

Data are presented on two computerized tests of everyday verbal learning: Paired associate learning of First-Last Names (FLN), and the Grocery List Selective Reminding Test (GLSRT). MANOVA and multiple regression analyses demonstrated that performance on FLN and GLSRT was most strongly related to age, with significant secondary associations found for gender, with females performing better than ...

The Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI; Psychological Corporation, 1999) and the Wide Range Intelligence Test (WRIT; Glutting, Adams, & Sheslow, 2000) are two well-normed brief measures of general intelligence with subtests purportedly assessing verbal–crystallized abilities and nonverbal–fluid–visual abilities. With a sample of 152 children, adolescents, and adults, the present s...

the purpose of the present study is developing “working memory training software”, and investigating the efficacy of this computerized cognitive training on students working memory. this study is in r&d; research category, and it is performed in a semi-experimental design. its data were collected from students of the third grade (30), fourth grade (30), and fifth grade (12) of primary school. t...
