Investigating the Domain of Geometric Inductive Reasoning Problems: A Structural Equation Modeling Analysis
Matrix inductive reasoning has been a popular research topic due to its claimed relationship with the general factor of intelligence. In this research, four subabilities were identified: working memory, rule induction, rule application, and figure detection. This quantitative study examined the …

Cognitive function and social cognition in young first-episode psychosis patients
… tests such as the Logical Memory Test and the Matrix Reasoning. In this study, 28 patients in the early stages of psychotic disorder and 32 healthy controls carried out both neuropsychological- and social cognitive tests. The results revealed that the clinical group performed significantly …

Exploring the neural mechanisms underlying the speech processing and phonological deficits that characterise individuals with dyslexia
… Stress Perception, Phoneme Deletion, Digit Span, Matrix Reasoning, and the Test of Written Arithmetic (TAN). TOWRE-2 was used as an inclusion measure, while Matrix Reasoning and TAN served as control measures. As predicted, significant group differences were observed in RAN 1, RAN 2, Rise Time …

Exploring cultural loading in the cognitive assessment of preschoolers : item analysis of the DAS-II and WPPSI-IV
… variables. On the WPPSI-IV, three items from the Matrix Reasoning (p < .001) and Information (p < .05) subtests were detected as DIF items based on group differences across race/ethnicity, income, maternal education, paternal education, and overall cognitive ability. Similarly, fifteen items from …

Smoking Status, Cognition, and Neurobiology in Schizophrenia
… the Mind in the Eye tasks. The Vocabulary and Matrix Reasoning subtests of the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) and Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT-4) were used to assess general intelligence (IQ) and premorbid functioning, respectively. Cortical thickness was measured with a …

The WASI as a Screening Tool for Counselors in the Referral Decision for a Neuropsychological Evaluation
… and SCT. Based upon a multitrait-multimethod matrix, mild to moderate convergent and discriminant validity was found with the WASI VIQ and PIQ traits among neuropsychological verbal and performance measures. Statistically, the SCT, TMT-A, and HVDT-right shape were most predictive of the PIQ, …

Psychometric Issues Related to the Tinker Toy Test
… assessed by comparing the TTT scores with the Matrix Reasoning subtest, r(38) = .32, p = .044, and the Similarities, r(38) = .34, p = .03, subtest on the WASI-II. Divergent validity was assessed by comparing TTT scores to the Block Design subtest of the WASI-II, r(38) = .245, p = .127. No …

Visual Perception in Traumatic Brain Injury: Effects of Severity and Effort
<p>Previous studies have found that poor effort can significantly impact psychometric performance by Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients. So far, this impact has been relatively well studied in attention and memory. However, this is not the case for visual perception functions. Thus, the goal of …
