Analyses of variance were conducted on WAIS–R age-corrected scaled scores and global intelligence standard scores with gender as the independent variable. Significant differences between men and women were found on three subtests, Information, Arithmetic, and Block Design. For all three significant differences, the 115 men scored higher than the 115 women ( M age = 34.8; Range 16 to 71 years). The implications of these findings are discussed.
A subgroup of patients with intractable depression may have an underlying thought disorder that can be identified with the Rorschach and successfully treated with low-dose antipsychotic medication.
This study examined the relationship between perinatal risk factors and developmental functioning for a referred population of 216 children. A canonical correlation analysis indicated that 31% of the variability in developmental information could be predicted from perinatal events. The results were interpreted as lending support to a multivariate link between perinatal complications and developmental functioning for referred children.
A canonical correlation between summary intelligence scores and neuropsychological tests for 423 learning-disabled children was performed. Results showed a significant relationship between WISC-R global intelligence scores and tests of the Halstead-Reitan's Neuropsychological Battery for Older Children (HRNB-C), Rc = .53, p < .001. While measures were found to share commonality, both were found to provide unique information. The clinical implications of these findings were discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
