“…The age range was between 8 and 12 years. It was assumed on the basis of findings from normative studies (Bender, 1938;Cornell & Coxe, 1934;Terman & Merrill, 1937) that at the age of 8 years, children with normal psychomotor development can master the experimental tasks without major difficulty. But it was also expected that within this age range there may still be observable differences in level of performance, potentially related to developmental differences, thus permitting an evaluation of the effect of maturational factors on the nature of test performance.…”

“…Elsewhere, Babcock (1932) described a short version of the Army Performance Scale that included the Ship Test, the Feature Profile Test, and the Cube Imitation Test. Cornell and Coxe (1934) similarly devised a revised version of the Army Performance Test based on the Feature Profile Test, five other tests drawn from previous scales, and a picture arrangement test of their own invention.…”

Howard Andrew Knox was Assistant Surgeon at the immigration station at Ellis Island, New York, between April 1912 and May 1916. In response to public disquiet that the physicians at Ellis Island were failing to prevent mentally retarded people from entering the country, Knox and his colleagues assembled a collection of performance tests that could be administered to potential immigrants with little knowledge of the English language. They were subsequently used in clinical practice and in educational, psychological, and social research. Because of the early work done at Ellis Island, it is nowadays taken for granted that any adequate measure of intelligence must include both verbal and performance subtests.

“…Three groups of children were tested with the Revised Stanford Binet, Form L ( 14) and the Cornell-Coxe Performance Ability Scale (5). Two of them (experimental and control) consisted of 27 pairs of individually matched 5s for CA, Binet IQ, years of schooling, and parental occupation.…”
