Our paper focuses on the generation of optimal test sequences and test cases using Intelligent Agents for highly reliable systems. Test sequences support test case generation for these types of systems. Our system is modeled through UML state charts. Conventional test generation techniques do not worry about optimization and dynamic nature of such systems. In the case of highly reliable Softwar...

Nos propusimos comparar el rendimiento en tareas de función ejecutiva entre adolescentes y adultos mayores bilingües monolingües. Utilizamos un diseño comparativo transversal. Evaluamos a 48 personas monolingües (24 24 mayores) 56 (31 25 con una amplia batería neuropsicológica que comprendían flexibilidad cognitiva (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test), control inhibitorio (test Stroop), memoria trabaj...

Weiss, Keith, Zhu, and Chen (2013a) and Weiss, Keith, Zhu, and Chen (2013b), this issue, report examinations of the factor structure of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Fourth Edition (WISC-IV), respectively; comparing Wechsler Hierarchical Model (W-HM) and Cattell–Horn–Carroll Hierarchical Model (CHC-HM), subtest cross-...

OBJECTIVE The estimation of a person's intelligence quotient (IQ) by means of psychometric tests is indispensable in the application of psychological assessment to several fields. When complex tests as the Wechsler scales, which are the most commonly used and universally recognized parameter for the diagnosis of degrees of retardation, are not applicable, it is necessary to use other psycho-dia...

Several recent prospective studies have demonstrated the existence of a preclinical stage of dementia, identifiable by neuropsychological assessment showing impairments with a great variety of cognitive tests. However, test scores are often colinear, largely because common cognitive components are involved in different tests; in spite of an apparent heterogeneity, it is still possible that a co...

This study compared the reading subtests of the Wechsler Individual Achievement TestThird Edition and the Peabody Individual Achievement Test-Revised/Normative Update. Scores were compared on these two tests in a group of 28 students ages 7 through 12 who were referred or reevaluated for suspected learning problems. The data were collected through a deidentified data set provided by a school bu...
