CASP Position Paper: Specific Learning Disabilities and Patterns of Strengths and Weaknesses

A Psychometric Network Analysis of CHC Intelligence Measures: Implications for Research, Theory, and Interpretation of Broad CHC Scores “Beyond g”

“…Researchers critical of cognitive ability testing have raised valid issues regarding the efficacy of clinical or actuarial interpretation ( Canivez 2013b ), the long-term stability of cognitive ability test profiles ( Dombrowski et al 2021 ; Farmer et al 2021b ), and the lack of empirically demonstrated cognitive ability test-based educational aptitude treatment interactions beyond psychometric g ( Kranzler and Floyd 2020 ). These complex issues, as well as the debates surrounding the widespread pattern of strengths and weaknesses approach to specific learning disability (SLD) identification ( Christo and Ponzuric 2017 ; Fiorello et al 2014 ; Flanagan and Schneider 2016 ; Kranzler et al 2016 ; Maki et al 2022 ; McGill and Busse 2017 ; Taylor et al 2017 ) are beyond the intended scope of this paper. Instead, this paper focuses on a central issue in the current cognitive ability test use debate—the relative importance of broad CHC Stratum II scores after the Stratum III general intelligence ( g ) construct variance is accounted for in cognitive–achievement relations research.…”

Introduction to the Special Section on Patterns of Strength and Weakness

“…McGill and Busse (2016a), Christo, D'Incau andPonzuric (2016) response, andBusse (2016b) rejoinder are thought-provoking articles regarding CASP position paper on Patterns of Strength and Weakness (Christo and Jones 2014). They raise important questions for us to address: not only how should we define evidenced-based practice (EBP) but also ultimately what to do about the requirements that the law places on us with respect to our practice and what does current research show for its efficacy?…”
