Description of the Book:

THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF TASK SCORES VERSUS IQ AS PREDICTORS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT WAS INVESTIGATED, AND THE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN TASK SCORES AND IQ RE-EXAMINED. SUBJECTS WERE 99 UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH A MEAN STANFORD-BINET IQ OF 126 (SD EQUALS 19). THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE DUNN’S OBJECT SORTING TASK (OST), STANFORD BINET IQ SCORES, WECHSLER INTELLIGENCE SCALE FOR CHILDREN (WISC) VOCABULARY TEST, THE CALIFORNIA ACHIEVEMENT TEST BATTERY (CATB), THE TORRANCE TESTS, AND, FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN, THE USES FOR THINGS TEST. CORRELATION AND MULTIPLE REGRESSION ANALYSES WERE CONDUCTED. IT WAS EXPECTED THAT/ (1) SORTING FLUENCY, SPEED AND QUALITY OF THE VERBAL EXPLANATION OF CLASSIFICATORY CONCEPTS WOULD PREDICT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, (2) THE NUMBER OF POSITIVE SORTS AND MEAN VERBALIZATION SCORES WOULD CORRELATE WITH IQ, AND (3) OST FLUENCY, FLEXIBILITY, AND ORIGINALITY WOULD CORRELATE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE TORRANCE SCORES. ALL THREE HYPOTHESES WERE SUPPORTED. THE RESULTS INDICATE THE OST MAY BE USEFUL IN DETECTING DIFFERENCES IN APPARENTLY HOMOGENEOUS IQ GROUPS.

A STRONG PREDICTIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERFORMANCE ON THE OST AND ACHIEVEMENT IN FORMAL SUBJECT AREAS WAS ALSO FOUND.
