Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Group Factors in Mental Tests Similar in Material or in Structure
In connection with attempts to contrast the importance of form and content, or material and structure, a study by Dockerill et cl., brie?y reported by Spearman (20, p. 240f) may be mentioned. Two tests perfectly similar in substance or the essential nature of the tasks to be executed were constructed, one in the completions form and the other in the questions form. No group factor was introduced by the similarity of substance. Hence, it was concluded that form was more effective than substance. This jibes with Findley's con elusion; but it con?icts with Stephenson's findings. On the basis of work in the field of memory, Anastasi has also ventured the Opposite conclusion material is more potent that method16 in determining inter-test correlation. (2, pp. 45, 541i.)
