| Note:
The differences required for statistical significance are based on the
average standard errors of measurement across all ages and calculated with
the following formula provided by Davis (1959): Difference score = Z
SQRT[(SEmt^2)/K^2+[(K-2)/K](SEmi^2)], where Z is the normal curve value
associated with the desired significance level derived with the Bonferroni
correction for multiple comparisons, K is the number of tests in the
comparison, SEmt^2 is the sum of the squared standard errors of
measurement for all tests in the comparison, and SEmi^2 is the squared
standard error of measurement for the test of interest.
John and Ron thank Dr. Woodcock for his very generous granting of access to
portions of the WJ-R standardization data and for his kind permission to post these tables. |
