The Stanford-Binet Scales : a comparison of Form L/M and the Fourth EditionHamer, Anne, n/a January 1990 (has links)
The Stanford-Binet: Fourth Edition represents a new dimension in intelligence testing
from the traditional Binet Scales. Based on a 3 level hierarchical model this represents a
significant departure from the age scale format of previous revisions. Several abbreviated
batteries are suggested. This study uses the "Quick Screening Battery" consisting of four
subtests (Vocabulary, Quantitative, Pattern Analysis, and Bead Memory). Results are
presented as Standard Age scores (SAS) for fifteen subtests in four Areas (Verbal Reasoning,
Quantitative Reasoning, Abstract/Visual Reasoning and Short-term Memory), and
the global 'g' Test Composite score. Thirty kindergarten children randomly assigned to
two groups took both the Stanford-Binet: Fourth Edition and the Stanford-Binet: Form
L/M in a counter balanced design. Nine hypotheses and one question are discussed. Statistical
calculations for data analysis were arrived at through SPSSX/PC V2.0 (Noursis
1988). Correlations between Form L/M IQ and the Test Composite (r = .72), Verbal
Reasoning (r = .71) and Abstract/Visual Reasoning (r = .41) reached significance at
0.05 or better. Other correlations showed similar trends as that found in the literature.
The study gives promise for the "Quick Screening Battery" as a tool for screening young
children.
