Somatic anxiety during intelligence testing was examined for 43 children in Grades K through 5 by assessing each child's heart rate with an Apple IIe computer program during an administration of the Kaufman-ABC. Heart rate (a measure of somatic anxiety) decreased steadily during the course of the test administration, except for an increase when the one timed subtest (Triangles) was administered. Heart rate during each separate subtest did not correlate significantly with performance on any task. Implications of these preliminary findings are discussed.
A number of software programs are commercially available for evaluating data of various intelligence tests. However, a review of available programs indicates a notable lack of software which includes prescriptive and recommendation capabilities based on evaluation data. The current article defines a technique and illustrates a sample micro-computer program which allows user to both evaluate the WISC-R and choose recommendations to fit individual needs of client.The need for individual educational plans (IEPS) for students has never been seriously questioned by anyone within the educational establishment; however, the constant demands on time of teachers, counselors, therapists, etc., whether in regular or special education, have created a definite need for utilization of appraisal information in some concise manner. the proliferation of microtechnology to develop software which attacks this problem.Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R).Only recently has education been afforded the opportunity to make use of This article explains two programs which evaluate the Wechsler Intelligence 129 0 1986.
