Abstract:

In this article, I present a theory that explains the origin of sex differences in technical aptitudes. The theory takes as proven that there are no sex differences in general mental ability (GMA), and it postulates that sex differences in technical aptitude (TA) stem from differences in experience in technical areas, which is in turn based on sex differences in technical interests. Using a large data set, I tested and found support for four predictions made by this theory: (a) the construct level correlation between technical aptitude and GMA is larger for females than males, (b) the observed

Abstract:

The developments that occur in psychological measurement have an effect on the development of the quality of the tests used. Differential Aptitude Test (DAT) is a form of psychological test used to measure a person's talent. Measurement of aspects of talent needs to be proven on the success of post-aptitude test studies. Therefore, this study aims to examine: (1) the predictive validity of differential aptitude tests in predicting study success in psychology study programs, and (2) which subtests are influential in predicting the success of studies in psychology study programs.

Abstract:

AbstractThis study investigates the validity of syntactic priming as a measure of implicit language aptitude. Syntactic priming refers to the tendency to reproduce a linguistic structure due to a previous exposure to the structure. The validity of the construct was verified by collating evidence for divergent validity—whether it is dissociable from explicit aptitude; convergent validity—whether it is correlated with other measures of implicit aptitude; and predictive validity—whether it is predictive of learning attainment.

Abstract:

The ability to find parsimonious solutions to problems, make good judgements and decisions relates to the intelligent functioning of humans. These are particularly significant functions of managerial work. However, standard intelligence tests and aptitude tests of one sort or another predominantly measure the ability to code information, to store it and retrieve it when necessary. Whereas these abilities are necessary for academic and scholastic success, what counts outside the scholastic environment of classrooms is the former. This, in essence, is called "planning."

Abstract:

The relationship between the speed of execution and the ability of a subject when performing mental tasks is a longtime concern of psychometric researchers. However, this relationship is not well documented because execution speed has been measured inaccurately in the past. The relationship between speed of execution and intellectual ability is evaluated here while using subtests from a French Canadian computerized battery of aptitude tests, the Tests d'aptitudes informatisés pour enfants, which adequately provide control of the response time for each presented item.

Abstract The present study examines a US Department of Defense (DOD) foreign language program using linear and logistic regression to model foreign language proficiency growth over three time intervals. The analysis demonstrates growth from start to finish for a program involving domestic immersion and study abroad and tests the ability of aptitude and achievement measures to predict that growth for a group of 80 students. The findings suggest that a measure of foreign language aptitude and a measure of quantitative aptitude differentiate learning outcomes for the intensive domestic immersion

A dynamic, computer-based, multi-aptitude test was designed to predict success on inspection jobs that require the combined aptitudes of general cognitive ability, abstract reasoning, and spatial visualization. This approach to the prediction of job performance is in contrast to most existing methods for predicting performance on technical jobs, in which aptitudes are measured one at a time by static tests. The test was computer administered and scored, requiring 36 minutes of testing time. Validation studies showed that the test was highly reliable, correlated with other measures of these key

In a prior issue of the Journal of Intelligence, I argued that the most important scientific issue in intelligence research was to identify specific abilities with validity beyond g (i.e., variance common to mental tests) (Coyle, T.R. Predictive validity of non-g residuals of tests: More than g. Journal of Intelligence 2014, 2, 21–25.). In this Special Issue, I review my research on specific abilities related to non-g factors. The non-g factors include specific math and verbal abilities based on standardized tests (SAT, ACT, PSAT, Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery). I focus on two non

Abstract:

Psychology is the study of human behavior and mental processes. The expert system applied in psychology is about testing the interests and talents of elementary school students. Interest and talent are very important issues in education. Through tests of interests and talents, students can better know their potential, including their strengths and weaknesses, both in terms of academic and personality. Expert system designed to determine the interests and talents of elementary school students, preferably for students in grades IV, V, VI. Because the class students have entered the age of around

Abstract:

There is increasing tendency to use the Differential Aptitude Tests (DAT) for course and career counselling with students in independent schools in Australia. The OAT profile and explanatory notes may also be forwarded to students and/or parents and it is of particular concern that the full explanation of means of interpreting the profile is often not clear to the naive client. Many clients view the profile as a combination of IQ report and predictor of future academic success.

AbstractObjective:Cognitive reserve (CR) suggests that premorbid efficacy, aptitude, and flexibility of cognitive processing can aid the brain’s ability to cope with change or damage. Our previous work has shown that age and literacy attainment predict the cognitive performance of frontal patients on frontal-executive tests. However, it remains unknown whether CR also predicts the cognitive performance of non-frontal patients.Method:We investigated the independent effect of a CR proxy, National Adult Reading Test (NART) IQ, as well as age and lesion group (frontal vs. non-frontal) on measures

The paper describes the current British Psychological Society (BPS) approach to the development of professional test user qualifications through the use of a competence-based approach to the certification of test users. The rationale is described and contrasted with previous mechanisms for controlling standards in test use. The overall strategy is to develop more competent test users and to provide better information for them about tests. The latter is being accomplished through the establishment of a Register of Test Users with its associated journal Selection and Development Review; and the

In order to quantify the effect of medical gloves on tactile performance, two new Simulated Medical Examination Tactile Tests (SMETT) have been developed to replicate the tactile and haptic ability required in medical examinations: the ‘Bumps’ test and the ‘Princess and the Pea’ (P&P) test. A pilot study was carried out using 30–40 subjects for each test in order to investigate the suitability of the tests for medical glove evaluation. Tests were performed with latex and nitrile examination gloves and without gloves. Following the tests, small-scale studies were carried out to investigate

This issue becomes especially critical in the context of finding ways to improve knowledge control and the introduction of computer testing to determine students' learning curve in higher mathematics. The concept of the teachers’ competency concerning the quality of tests in higher mathematics is substantiated. It is defined as the teacher’s ability to calculate the characteristics of the test, test items with the use of ICT and on the basis of these characteristics to evaluat

We report results on Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) of ceramic thin films for biomedical applica-tions. The coating of metallic implants with bioceramic thin films (e.g. calcium phosphates, in particular hydroxyapatite) has been proposed as a solution for combining the mechanical properties of the metallic material with the bioactive character of the ceramic layer, leading to a better integration of the entire implant with the newly remodelled bone. Other bioceramics (as e.g. alumina) exhibit a high degree of chemical inertness under physiological conditions, excellent wear resistance, ability
