}ion in the WAIS Similarities Test. Object Sorting Experiments I and II investigate the effect of association upon abstraction in the BRL Object Sorting Test. Object Sorting Experiment III investigates the effect of association upon the conceptual organization of recall in the BRL. The data for these experiments were gathered in the following order: (a) Similarities Experiment I and Object Sorting Experiment I; (b) Similarities Experiment II and Object Sorting Experiment II; (c) Object Sorting…Â

Abstraction, Associative Focusing, and Similarities Tests: Towards More Clinically Sensitive and Better Understood Tests
- Psychology, MedicinePsychological reports
- 1971
A proposed associative focusing hypothesis that describes the response process in similarities tests was investigated in a series of 10 experiments, which confirmed specific predictions derived from the associativeocusing hypothesis and provided evidence that an extraneous confounding variable was built into the very structure of conventional similarities tests.
The Conceptual Level Analogy Test: Internal Consistency and Relationship to Demographic Variables
- PsychologyPsychological reports
- 1984
Analysis indicated that the Conceptual Level Analogy Test is a unidimensional scale and corrections for these demographic factors in future work with surgical populations may improve the prediction of post-surgical status.
