Alfonso. The Cattell-Horn-Carroll
(CHC) Cross-Battery assessment approach (also referred to as the XBA
approach) is a time-efficient assessment method grounded solidly in
contemporary psychometric theory and research. The XBA approach
systematically integrates data across cognitive and achievement batteries,
enabling mental health professionals to expand their traditional assessments
to more comprehensively address referral concerns. This approach also
includes guidelines for identification of specific learning disabilities and
assessing cognitive capabilities of culturally and linguistically diverse
individuals. Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological
Assessment series, this volume is designed to help busy mental health
professionals quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need to make
optimal use of psychological assessment instruments. Each concise chapter
features numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points,
and extensive illustrative material, as well as "Test Yourself"
questions that help you to gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information
covered. Essentials of Cross-Battery Assessment, Second Edition is updated to
include the latest edition of cognitive ability tests, including KABC-II,
SB5, WISC(r)-IV, WPPSI-III, DAS-II(r), WAIS(r)-III, and WJ III COG as well as
the most current comprehensive achievement tests, such as WJ III ACH,
KTEA-II, and WIAT(r)-II. A new chapter demonstrates the use of the XBA
approach in assessing learning disabilities in a manner consistent with the
recent reauthorization of IDEA. This book now includes a CD-ROM that contains
three programs that allow you to enter data and review results: the
Cross-Battery Assessment Data Management and Interpretive Assistant (XBA
DMIA) v1.0; the Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Assistant v1.0; and the
Culture-Language Interpretive Matrix (C-LIM) v1.0. 
Vincent C. Alfonso,
& Jennifer T. Mascolo. The Second Edition of this critically acclaimed
reference features the most up-to-date versions of assessment instruments to
measure individual achievement and learning disabilities. The authors'
pragmatic approach offers practitioners an innovative, systematic assessment
framework that applies Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) cognitive theory and blends
cognitive testing and Response-to-Intervention (RTI) methods into one
seamless process for diagnosing learning disabilities. Replete with case
studies, checklists, and worksheets, this reference assists practitioners in
choosing appropriate tests, organizing comprehensive assessments, and
interpreting results using a cross-battery approach. Part One focuses on the
evaluation and identification of learning disabilities, particularly from the
perspective of IDEA 2004. Current cognitive theory, research, assessment
methods, and interpretive techniques are all set forth and reviewed. Part Two
is the "Desk Reference" section. It features descriptions and
reviews of the psychometric, theoretical, and qualitative features of more
than 50 achievement tests published between 1995 and 2006. Separate chapters
are devoted to comprehensive tests of academic achievement and brief
screening tests of academic achievement, as well as separate chapters for
tests of reading, math, written language, oral language, and phonological
processing. Part Three provides a comprehensive, step-by-step explanation of
evaluating suspected learning disabilities according to IDEA 2004 guidelines,
using the principles and procedures described in the previous two parts. This
reference concludes with fifteen appendices providing practitioners with a
host of useful information and tools, including reproducible worksheets,
conversion tables, and learning disability resources. Grounded in CHC theory
and a cross-battery approach to assessment, this is an essential resource for
school psychologists and other practitioners who need to assess learning
disabilities.

Kevin S. McGrew and Samuel O.
Ortiz. Here's an easy-to-follow, visual guide to using the Wechsler
Intelligence and Memory Scales to design assessments and make interpretations
you can stand by -- assessments and interpretations that are both
psychometrically and theoretically defensible. In this guide, Dawn Flanagan,
Kevin McGrew, and Samuel Ortiz modernize the interpretation of the Wechsler
Intelligence Scales by applying Gf-Gc theory and the cross-battery approach
to intellectual assessment and interpretation. They show you in-depth how to
use cross-battery principles and techniques to augment the Wechsler
Intelligence Scales (WPPSI-R, WISC-III, WAIS-III) in a psychometrically
defensible manner and how to interpret the results of Wechsler-based
cross-battery assessments within the context of today's theory and research.
In the three comprehensive parts, the guide shows the approach used by the
authors: a comprehensive review of the psychometric, theoretical, and
qualitative characteristics of all of the individual subtests of the WPPSI-R,
WISC-III, WAIS-III, WMS-III, and CMS; and a thorough understanding of the
product of grounding cognitive ability assessment and interpretation, with
the Wechsler Scales, in strong theory and research -- the Wechsler-based
Gf-Gc cross-battery approach. What's more, The Wechsler-based cross-battery
approach presented here narrows the theory-practice gap in the field of
intellectual assessment and includes well-articulated theory and research
based guidelines for conducting Wechsler cross-battery assessments with
culturally and linguistically diverse individuals. A must have for practicing
clinicians. 
Gf-Gc Cross-Battery Assessment is the
definite reference on ALL major psychological tests. In light of recent
advances in intelligence theory and research, this is the first comprehensive
volume which provides an analysis and synthesis of the major intelligence
batteries according to contemporary theory and research. This book has four
primary goals: (1) to describe the comprehensive and empirically supported
theories of intelligence, (2) to provide a "Desk Reference" that
describes the psychometric characteristics abilities of all major
intelligence tests, (3) to present a "cross-battery" approach to
measuring intellectual functioning, and (4) to offer the latest in research
and intellectual assessment. This book succeeds where no other book does in
assisting practicing psychologists and researchers in advancing their methods
of intellectual assessment. 
by John Bissell
Carroll. The results of more than seventy years of investigation, by
factor analysis, of the varieties of cognitive abilities, are described with
particular attention to abilities in language, thinking, memory, visual and
auditory perception, creativity, etc. The book from whence CHC and Cross-Battery
Assessment sprang. A must have for your CHC library, if a bit strenuous
to read for the non-quantoids.
Harrison (Editor). In recent
years, traditional theories of intelligence and measures of intellectual
functioning have come under increased scrutiny by professionals seeking a
broader understanding of cognitive abilities and personal competence,
enhanced diagnostic and treatment utility, and a more culturally sensitive
practice. Many new assessment instruments and techniques have been developed and
new and revised theories of intelligence have emerged. This unique volume
provides a comprehensive conceptual and practical overview of the current
state of the art of the field. Bridging the gap between applied intelligence
testing and the latest in cognitive science, the book covers major theories
of intelligence, methods of assessing human cognitive abilities, and issues
related to the validity and utility of current test batteries. Contributors,
who include leading theorists researchers, and scientist-practitioners, as
well as many of the test developers themselves, give special attention to
ways in which emerging conceptions of intelligence diverge from traditional
paradigms. Taken together, the chapters provide the knowledge needed to
effectively use new batteries and to make up-to-date, empirically supported
interpretations of older tests.
