EVALUATING PREDICTIVE-VALIDITY - A REJOINDER TO BRADEN ET-AL (1995)

Braden et al. (1995) argued that percentile rank scores from the subte sts of SAT-d yield accurate predictive validity coefficients for the P erformance scale of WISC. In doing so they have reiterated their ratio nale and think my investigation was flawed in some respects. I have ex amined their misconceptions about my study and conclude that there is nothing flawed. I have re-evaluated their rationale and find it unacce ptable. I propose the study of age and other factors as moderator vari ables in validity inquiry with the goal of validity generalization.
