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...

How accurate is this abbreviated scale? One way of answering this question is to compare individuals' IQ's on the complete scale with their IQ's derived by considering only the starred tests. This procedure involves, of course, the assumption that an individual taking the complete scale would have the same "passes" and "failures" on the starred tests as he would have had, if he had been given o...

tistical evaluation of the items in the Stanford Binet and, incidentally, of certain performance tests that might indicate the presence of mechanical ability. The theory that general intelligence and mechanical ability are distinct traits is consistently confirmed by the low correlations found between tests of intelligence and mechanical ability. Almost all of these studies are based on the tot...

Visual constructive and visual-motor skills in the deaf population were investigated by comparing performance of deaf native signers (n=20) to that of hearing nonsigners (n=20) on the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration, Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test, Wechsler Memory Scale Visual Reproduction subtest, and Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale Paper Folding and Cuttin...

The discussions of Madden and Stoke 1 recall similar statistical studies by tlie writer of the responses to the individual tests in the Binet scale. These studies include an analysis in 1911 of successful responses to the tests in the 1908 scale, based on the performance of 333 epileptics;2 a tabulation in 1916 of the percentage of successes for each test in the 1908 scale based on the response...

Fourteen patients with classic phenylketonuria (PKU) were treated with a phenylalanine restricted diet from early infancy. All had satisfactory dietary control, with serum phenylalanine concentrations ranging between 2 to 5 mg/dL. Dietary restriction was discontinued in all these children between ages 5 and 6 years, and a free diet allowed. Developmental testing was performed using the Cattell ...

Fourteen families of children with infantile nephropathic cystinosis were evaluated using the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition [Thorndike et al., 1986: Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Fourth Ed.]. The IQs of 15 children with cystinosis, their 23 sibs and 24 parents were compared in order to evaluate a potential effect of cystinosis on intelligence. Children with cystinosis h...
