“…factor. Norden (1970) Hine (1970) factor analyzed a 24variable intercorrelation matrix for a sample of 100 hard-of-hearing English residential school children aged eight through 16 years. The 24 variables included the WISC subtests, tests of reading and arithmetic, and a variety of demographic items.…”

Nine factor analytic studies of deaf children and adolescents are reviewed and summarized in this paper. First, the distinction between comparative and correlation studies is clarified; the two methodological approaches are seen to be complementary. Psychological assessment of deaf persons is discussed under two categories: nonverbalnonlanguage abilities and language and communication abilities. The summaries of the factorial investigations include information regarding the composition of the sample, the variables analyzed, the statistical techniques employed, and the results obtained. The nine factor analytic studies of young deaf persons unanimously support the conclusion that language skills are independent of nonverbal intelligence. The validity of tie conclusion is further enhanced by four considerations: (a) the age span of the research samples, (b) the international scope of the studies, (c) the variety of measures used, and (d) the similarity of statistical methodology employed. Factorial design, and educational and theoretical implications of the conclusion reached, are discussed. VANDER WOUDE, K. W.

Since the first review of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC)I by Littell (1960), the use of this test has expanded greatly. The validity of the WISC is no longer in question; indeed it has become the standard by which the newer measures are evaluated. Focus now centers on the types of factors, external and internal, that affect obtained test results. The role of examiner variables, examining variables, situational variables, the use of the test as a diagnostic tool for specific groups, and the feasibility of abbreviating the scale have dominated the literature.Because of this change, the organization of this review is expanded over Littell's original presentation, a reflection of altered research trends. The general burgeoning of publications necessitates a bibliographic coverage that is selective rather than exhaustive. Generally, the foreign language literature is omitted, with emphasis placed on the WISC as a clinical and/or intellectual measurement tool in English-speaking countries.'The abbreviation WISC will be used throughout to indicate the Wechsler

There is difficulty in developing conceptual models that apply through-out the adult years. For example, that of Campbell et al. (1976) accounts for the behavior of people aged 18-54, but not those older. Their findings of positive response bias in satisfaction with conditions of everyday living, not only in the old but also in the poorly educated and those with low incomes, suggests that concepts of deprivation and sense of personal competence are needed in a model that will include the elderly. The inadequacy of the Campbell et al. model for older persons may derive from age-related differences in these variables. In this study of four samples of people 60 and older (the group whose data most poorly fit the Campbell et al. model), sense of personal competence and situational deprivation accounted for statistically significant and meaningful amounts of variance in domain satisfactions and in overall well-being, supporting the need to include them in explanatory models relevant to older people.
