Peabody and WISC IQs of three groups of children from differing socioeconomic status levels and/or intellectual levels were compared. For the total sample of 67, correlations of .88, .88, .91 were obtained between the Peabody and WISC Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs, respectively. The Peabody IQs correlated .74 with the WISC Full Scale for the middle-range of intelligence (kindergarten). Those of higher socioeconomic status in a child study center showed the highest correlation .57 between Peabody and WISC Performance Scale IQs. For more deprived children from Headstart IQs on the Peabody and WISC Verbal Scale correlated .63.

The two main purposes of the current meta-analysis were (a) to determine the relation between socioeconomic status (SES) of students and academic performance (AP) (b) and evaluate the effect of several potential moderating factors in this relation. Data covered the publications between 2010 and 2019, and the dataset consisted of 48 independent studies that included 62 different samples, and the total sample was 386.601. Findings revealed that the relation between SES and academic performance represented a moderate positive correlation. All moderators, type of SES measure, academic performance scale, location, grade level, subjects of academic performance, and year, produced significant effects, respectively. These findings were discussed for every category of moderators with the related literature.

A sample of 19 male and 19 female 5th graders from a private school were tested on the 1949 WISC and the 1974 revised edition (WISC-R). Tests were administered in a partially counterbalanced order. Correlation coefficients for Verbal, Performance and Full Scale IQs were all very high as expected. On average, students scored 9.6 points higher on the WISC Verbal Scale and 8.4 points higher on the Performance Scale. Results for this small sample suggest the need for more frequent restandardization.

For 106 retarded persons correlations between WAIS IQs and IQs for combined forms of the Quick Test were .68 (Verbal scale), .40 (Performance scale), and .64 (Full scale), which values are similar to previously reported ones of Methvin. The QT assesses reliably (.83) functional language ability.

In the present comparative study intellectual profile in normal and retarded readers was studied for samples homogeneous as to age (9- to 10-yr.-olds) and sex (boys) selected from a total population of school children. Ss were 150 retarded and 50 normal readers matched for birthdate and school class placement. Systematic equating for WISC IQ level was carried out. In general, weaknesses in intellectual functioning for the retarded readers were restricted to the Verbal Scale. The retarded readers, when matched with normal readers for Full Scale IQ, were characterized by better functioning on the subtests of the Performance Scale and poorer functioning on the Verbal Scale. The finding that inadequacy in language functioning rather than in perceptual or manipulative skills characterized the retarded readers was sustained by an intensive evaluation of use of language.

Latar belakang. Pasien HIV anak berisiko tinggi mengalami gangguan neurokognitif akibat keterlibatan sistem saraf pusat (SSP). Pemberian antiretrovirus (ARV menurunkan viral load di SSP sehingga mencegah penurunan fungsi kognitif.Tujuan. Memberikan gambaran fungsi kognitif pasien HIV anak dalam terapi ARV.Metode. Studi potong lintang dilakukan terhadap pasien HIV anak berusia 5-15 tahun. Penilaian kognitif dilakukan dengan instrumen Wechsler intelligence scale for children IV (WISC IV) dilanjutkan dengan pemeriksaan elektroensefalografi untuk membuktikan kerusakan akibat keterlibatan SSP pada infeksi HIV.Hasil. Sembilan puluh pasien HIV anak (median usia 9 tahun) telah memperoleh ARV selama  1-124 bulan dengan median 69 bulan. Hasil rerata verbal, performance, dan full-scale IQ (FSIQ) berturut-turut adalah 88,66 (SB 15,69), 85,30 (SB 15,35), dan 85,73 (SB 15,61). Dua puluh tiga (25,6%) subjek memiliki verbal IQ abnormal, 34 (37,8%) performance scale abnormal, dan 32 (35,6%) FSIQ abnormal. Hasil EEG abnormal didapatkan pada 22 subjek (22,4%) dan tidak memiliki hubungan dengan stadium klinis, usia dan lama pemberian ARV, serta viral load. Stadium HIV menunjukkan hubungan bermakna dengan komponen verbal scale IQ dan FSIQ (p=0,042 dan p=0,044). Hasil IQ tidak memiliki hubungan dengan usia pemberian ARV, lama pemberian ARV, dan viral load.Kesimpulan. Pasien HIV anak yang telah mendapat terapi ARV selama 1-124 bulan memiliki rerata IQ abnormal pada verbal, performance, dan FSIQ meskipun jika dinyatakan dalam bentuk kategori, lebih dari 50% subjek memiliki IQ normal pada ketiga skala WISC.

For a sample of 40 educable retarded children, correlations between WISC IQs and Quick Test IQs were .53 (Verbal Scale), .32 (Performance Scale), and .50 (Full Scale). The QT mean IQ was significantly higher than the mean WISC Verbal and Full Scale IQs; there was no significant difference between the QT mean IQ and the mean WISC Performance IQ, although the correlation between these scales was somewhat lower. The findings suggest that, as with the adult retardate, the Quick Test assesses functional language ability of mentally retarded children moderately well and thus may be used in conjunction with other data for screening purposes.

Introduction: Current health literature suggests that there has been a decline in the age of pubertal onset and that pubertal onset/duration of puberty may, besides weight status, be influenced by socioeconomic context. Objective: The goal of this study was to determine whether pubertal onset/duration and puberty-triggering hormones luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) vary according to socioeconomic status (SES). Moreover, we aimed to propose cutoff values of serum LH and FSH for predicting gonadarche in boys. Methods: 2,657 apparently healthy children and adolescents between 5.5 and 18 years from the area of Leipzig were recruited from the LIFE Child study. Age at pubertal onset/end of puberty was given in 738/573 children, respectively. Anthropometric parameters of puberty, blood measurements of LH and FSH, and questionnaires assessing SES were evaluated. Results: Lower SES was associated with earlier thelarche and longer duration of puberty in overweight/obese girls, whereas age of menarche was not affected. In boys with low SES, a trend versus earlier puberty onset can be seen. Lower SES was significantly associated with boys’ age at mutation. No significant differences in boys’ and girls’ serum levels of LH and FSH during puberty according to SES were observed. Serum LH levels of 0.56 IU/L and serum FSH levels of 1.74 IU/L showed the best prediction of gonadarche in boys. Conclusion: Puberty onset/duration and boys’ age at mutation is affected by SES. The proposed cutoff levels for serum LH and FSH could provide a serological tool to determine gonadarche in boys.

The internal consistency of the Beta II, a recent revision of the Revised Beta Examination, was examined for a sample of alcoholic inpatients (81 men, 19 women) of low ability and socioeconomic status. They were aged 19 to 65 yr. ( M = 36.6, SD = 9.2) and had been admitted for treatment at a state agency for rehabilitation for alcoholism. Pearson inter-correlations were reported as well as the correlations between subtests and the sums of scaled scores. The median subtest intercorrelation was .51 and the median subtest-sum of scaled scores correlation was .76. Although these coefficients were smaller than those reported for the previous edition of the Beta, they compared favorably with results obtained for the recent revision of the Performance scale of the WAIS.
