Training and plasticity of working memory
TL;DR: The observed training effects suggest that WM training could be used as a remediating intervention for individuals for whom low WM capacity is a limiting factor for academic performance or in everyday life.

Age differences in sensation seeking and impulsivity as indexed by behavior and self-report: evidence for a dual systems model.
Laurence Steinberg,Dustin Albert,Elizabeth Cauffman,Marie T. Banich,Sandra Graham,Jennifer L. Woolard +5 more
TL;DR: Age differences in sensation seeking and impulsivity in a socioeconomically and ethnically diverse sample of 935 individuals between the ages of 10 and 30 are examined, showing a curvilinear pattern and suggesting Heightened vulnerability to risk taking in middle adolescence may be due to the combination of relatively higher inclinations to seek excitement and relatively immature capacities for self-control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age Differences in Resistance to Peer Influence
TL;DR: Results show that across all demographic groups, resistance to peer influences increases linearly between ages 14 and 18, and there is little evidence for growth in this capacity between ages 10 and 14 or between 18 and 30.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual differences in non-verbal number acuity correlate with maths achievement
TL;DR: There are large individual differences in the non-verbal approximation abilities of 14-year-old children, and that these individual Differences in the present correlate with children’s past scores on standardized maths achievement tests, extending all the way back to kindergarten.

Validity of the Wechsler abbreviated scale of intelligence and other very short forms of estimating intellectual functioning
TL;DR: The results suggest that clinicians should use the WASI cautiously, if at all, especially when accurate estimates of individuals’ WAIS-III results are needed, as well as short form estimations of intellectual functioning derived from WAis-III performance.

Construct Validity of the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence and Wide Range Intelligence Test: Convergent and Structural Validity
TL;DR: The Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) and the Wide Range Intelligence Test (WRIT) are two well-normed brief measures of general intelligence with subtests purportedly assessing verbal-crystallized abilities and nonverbal-fluid-visual abilities.

Exploratory Factor Analysis of the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) in Adult Standardization and Clinical Samples
Joseph J. Ryan,Christine A. Carruthers,L. J. Miller,Gary T. Souheaver,Samuel T. Gontkovsky,Martin D. Zehr +5 more
TL;DR: Exploratory factor analyses were conducted separately on the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence adult standardization sample and a diagnostically heterogeneous adult clinical sample, suggesting factorial equivalence across the standardization and clinical samples.

Concurrent Validity of the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) with a Sample of Canadian Children
TL;DR: The Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence subtest and IQ scores were correlated with the Canadian Achievement Tests/2 and the Canadian Test of Cognitive Skills using 64 grade four Canadian children.

WASI profile variability in a sample of psychiatric inpatients.
J. Ray Hays,J. Bryant Shaw +1 more
TL;DR: Comparison of profile variability on this abbreviated scale with other Wechsler intelligence scales in similar populations suggests that variability measures are not comparable across the tests.
