Compared the performance of 58 regular education second and third grade children on the DAS and K-ABC. Strong correlations were found between the global scales of the two tests with Mental Processing Composite/GCA r=.66 and Global Intelligence composite/GCA r=.74. "...ascribing validity to the DAS as an acceptable measure of cognitive functioning in school age children." Differences were noted between the scores obtained on the SEQ-V, SEQ-NV, and SEQ-Spatial scales "thereby suggesting that these scales may be statistically independent and may thus be measuring different constructs." "The substantial correlations between the GCA and ACH, which was greater than the MPC-GCA correlation, suggests that the DAS core subtests may well be measuring acquired knowledge and prior learning as well as immediate problem solving ability. Similarly high GCA-VIC and GCA-GIC correlations may also reflect the achievement related task demands of the DAS core subtests, suggesting that the GCA may also measure achievement of school age children."

A review of the DAS with special emphasis on how well it may be used to identify and to plan for children with learning disabilities. "Extensive data, meticulously provided in the Technical Manual, suggest that the instrument is a psychometric improvement over existing techniques for measuring intellectual abilities and for determining intra-cognitive and aptitude-achievement discrepancies."

The DAS and WISC-III was administered to a sample of 53 children identified as having a learning disability. Each of the children had been administered the WISC-III and approximately 3 years later, was administered the DAS. For this group, all of the DAS composites correlated moderately with the WISC-III Full Scale IQ (range .64 to .78). There was a high (.78) correlation between the DAS GCA and the WISC-III Full Scale IQ. The DAS Verbal score correlated highest with the WISC-III Verbal IQ (.77), while the DAS Nonverbal Reasoning score correlated higher with the WISC-III Performance than with the Verbal (.55 vs. .65). The DAS Spatial cluster correlated highest with the WISC-III Performance scale (.67). The DAS Verbal, Nonverbal, Spatial, and GCA scores were slightly lower than the WISC-III Verbal, Performance, and Full Scales. The average difference between the GCA and the Full Scale IQ was 2.4 points (87.2 vs. 89.7) and may reflect the differences in the constructs measured by the two tests.

"Given its heuristic theoretical orientation, the solid psychometric properties of the test, and its economy of testing time in its use with young children, an early investment of money and time to master the DAS appears warranted."

This study determined whether the DAS measures the same constructs across its wide age range, and what constructs and abilities were being measured by the DAS. "...suggested that the constructs measured by the DAS are quite consistent across overlapping age ranges. ... suggested that the DAS first provides a good measure of g, general intelligence."

This is an excellent, short article addressing the issues of Bias and face Validity, Bias and Content Validity, Bias and the Test Construct, and Bias and Predictive Validity. "My overall conclusion is that the DAS is one of the least obviously biased tests available today. The test development and the test results have resulted in a relatively culturally fair measure...I for one believe that having a diagnostic test such as the DAS will be important for all children and that, as we learn more about it, we will be able to use it with increasing levels of confidence."
