“…Item sampling. A third approach is to sample items from some or all of the scales to produce a functionally representative test or a quasi "split-half" (Mogel & Satz, 1963;Pauker, 1963;Satz & Mogel, 1962;Satz, Van De Reit, & Mogel, 1967;Yudin, 1966). The use of only "starred" items in the administration of the S-B may also fall into this category (e.g., Birch, 1955;Wright, 1942).…”

Studies are reviewed in which some well-known clinical tests of intelligence are abbreviated to save testing time. Serious methodological problems are evident in most of these studies: samples are often small, unrepresentative, and heterogeneous in composition; and short-form validity is systematically overestimated. It is argued that present statements of the problem do not lead to a unique solution. The general requirement that an abbreviated test should save time while retaining maximum validity cannot be satisfied in the absence of a statement about the relative utility of "time saved" and "validity lost." Future research should benefit by adopting a decision-theoretic approach to the validation of short-form tests.

“…Siniilarly, a validation study by Satz, Van de Riet, and Mogel (1967) supported Yudin's conclusion about the usefulness of the WISC short form. Silverstein (1968) concluded that the shortened form without the Yudin correction provided a satisfactory estimate of intelligence on the WAIS, WISC, and WPPSI.…”

were given the WISC first. Also, their research grouped the children homogeneously by age within groups with the youngest subject being 9-6. I n contrast, our sample included children ranging in age froni 6-12 years a t the time they were administered the WISC.Results of this present. research show the WISC-R to be a valid instrument for classifying children as ERIR. This finding should be most reliable for EMR children who are similar in geographic and educational background to the ones used in this study. Due to the differential findings of the Hamm, et al., study and the present one, however, and the importance of this issue, a large scale research project is needed which would include the youngest school-aged children, with consideration given to geographic region and the effect of test-retest interval.

A compaiison between the WISC and WISC-R among Educable Mentally Retarded students. an the Schools, 1976, 13, 4-8.The completed WISC-11s of 76 white urban children (6-0 to 5 9 ) were rescored utilizing the Satz and Mogel criteria for an abbreviated intelligence measure. Extremely high correlations for IQs ( .96 -.98) and subtests ( .66 -, 95) were found. However, when mean differences between complete WISC-It and the shortened form were examined, significant differences between administrations were found. Furthermore, one-third of the subjects showed changes in intelligence classification levels when the abbreviated form was used. Thus, two of the three criteria previously suggested for a valid abbreviated intelligence test of: (a) a significantly high correlation between administration forms; (b) nonsignificant t-tests between t,he abbreviated and standard form mean I&; and (c) low percentage of I& classification change wit,h the administration of the short form, were not met. It, was concluded, however, that the abbreviated WISC-R may be appropriate when intelligence is a question relative to candidacy for therapy or as a noncritical, general indication .of intelligence when I& classification is not important and/or assessment time is limited.The Satz-Mogel short form of the Wechsler Scale has consistently correlated highly with the complete administration (.92 -.99), regardlcss of intellectual level or diagnostic classification (Satz & Mogel, 1962). The advantage of this shortened form over others is that i t utilizes all of the subtests on the scales to Requests for reprints should be sent to Robert J. Resnick,

“…Some short form research with the Wechsler tests (no published research yet exists on short forms for the recently published WAIS-R) has focused on abbreviation by elimination of some test items (Mogel & Satz, 1963;Resnick, 1977;Satz, VanDeRiet, & Mogel, 1967;Yudin, 1966). The bulk of the research has focused on elimination of subtests.…”

Investigated the validity of Vocabulary‐Block Design short forms for the WISC‐R, WAIS, and WAIS‐R in a clinical population of 126 adjudicated male delinquents age 16 years. The difference between the means of each short form and its corresponding Full Scale IQ was small and nonsignificant. The correlations between each short form and corresponding Full Scale IQ ranged between 0.88 and 0.92 and therefore accounted for between 77% and 84% of the variance shared by the measures. The WAIS and WAIS‐R were superior of the WISC‐R in correctly classifying Ss by intelligence category. It was concuded that Wechsler short forms, especially the WAIS and WAIS‐R, are useful as screening devices for older delinquents, but inadequate for making individual treatment program decisions.
