Convergent and discriminant validity of the WIST

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1983
Tested the ability of the Whitaker Index of Schizophrenic Thinking (WIST): (1) to distinguish schizophrenics from nonschizophrenics (N = 30); (2) to agree with clinically rated severity of thought disorder; and (3) to correlate with a measure of generalized cognitive deficit.

Convergent, Discriminant, and Concurrent Validity of Nonmemory-Based Performance Validity Tests

Assessment, 2018
To supplement memory-based Performance Validity Tests (PVTs) in identifying noncredible performance, we examined the validity of the two most commonly used nonmemory-based PVTs—Dot Counting Test (DCT) and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Fourth edition (WAIS-IV) Reliable Digit Span (RDS)—as well as two alternative WAIS-IV Digit Span (DS) subtest PVTs.

Convergent Validity of the Sharpened Romberg

Physical & Occupational Therapy In Geriatrics, 2017
ABSTRACTAim: The purpose of the study was to examine the convergent validity of the Sharpened Romberg (SR) as a measure of balance for older adults. Methods: 100 community-dwelling adults aged 60 and older performed the SR with eyes open and closed, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up-and-Go (TUG), and 10-Meter Walk.

Convergent Validity of Cognitive Assessment Methods

Behavior Modification, 1999
Studies employing multiple methods of cognitive assessment have often found low convergent validity, especially between endorsement (e.g., a checklist or questionnaire) and production e.g., think aloud or thought listing) methods. These results raise serious questions about the construct validity of measures receiving extensive use in cognitive ...

On the convergence of validity interval analysis

IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, 2000
Validity interval analysis (VIA) is a generic tool for analyzing the input-output behavior of feedforward neural networks. VIA is a rule extraction technique that relies on a rule refinement algorithm. The rules are of the form R(i)-->R(0) which reads if the input of the neural network is in the region R(i), then its output is in the region R(0), where

Validation of Cogswell's convergent flow analysis

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1996
The behavior of two polymers, namely, low-density and linear low-density polyethylenes, was studied in transient and steady-state shear and elongational flows. The predictions of Wagner's model with a damping function using a generalized invariant were calculated.

Convergent and Discriminant Validity of Overall Defensive Functioning

The Journal of Nervous & Mental Disease, 1998
We examined the validity of the construct of overall defensive functioning and its discrimination from standard diagnostic assessments. Within a multisite field trial, patients received intake diagnostic interviews by clinicians who made standard axis I through V diagnoses, then rated defense mechanisms using the Defense Mechanism Rating Scales (DMRS).
