RESUMO
A review of studies comparing the WISC-III to other measures of intelligence and achievement indicates the revision is continuing to meet the standards established by its predecessor, the WISC-R. Correlations are substantial, both for measures of ability and achievement; however, compared to the WISC-R, the WISC-III Full Scale IQ tends to be about six points lower, probably reflecting the "Flynn effect" (1984). As a consequence, eligibility for programs in special education may be negatively affected.

The increasing return to work by mothers of young children was documented for matching samples of mothers in families representing traditional marriages, single-mother units, social-contract relationships, and communal living groups. No evidence was found of negative effects on children's social, emotional, and cognitive development attributable to maternal absence due to employment.

Much time is spent in elementary schools in assessment of cognitive attributes of children, little in measurement of noncognitive attributes. This study evaluates relative importance of early assessments of cognitive versus noncognitive variables as predictors of high school achievement and adjustment. Results demonstrate the critical, and frequently more important, contribution of the noncognitive attributes.
