| Abstract: |
The article focuses on a study which investigates whether the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) measures the same constructs as the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R) and the Stanford-Binet Test. The sample for this study comprised of 41 second, third and fourth-grade English-speaking students. The subjects were divided randomly into six groups and administered the K-ABC, the WISC-R, and the Stanford-Binet in counter-balanced order. The highest correlations of the WISC-R Full Scale IQ and the Stanford-Binet IQ are with the K-ABC Achievement Scale. The K-ABC clearly delineates which portion of that behavior is fluid intelligence and which part is acquired knowledge. |
