Hospital and National Taiwan University, Taiwan, China
The use of the WAIS-III and WISC-III overlaps on 16 year-olds and thus clinicians need to have
some guidelines on the choice of either scales. In this study, fifty-eight 16 year-olds were
administered both the WAIS-III (Chinese version) and the WISC-III (Chinese version), with a
time interval of 5 to 7 weeks, by using counterbalanced research design to eliminate practice
effects. Results indicated that there were significant differences between the respective means
from these two scales with regard to FSIQ, VIQ, Verbal Comprehension Index, and Working
Memory Index. Tentative guidelines on the choice of the WAIS-III vs. WISC-III were presented.
2096.8 Administration mode effect on student performance of Stanford Diagnostic Reading and
Diagnostic Mathematics Tests, Shudong Wang, Michael Young, Harcourt Assessment, Inc., USA
This study was designed to investigate the comparability between computer-based (CB) and
paper-and-pencil (PP) administration modes of the Stanford Diagnostic Reading Test (Fourth
Edition, SDRT4) and Stanford Diagnostic Mathematics Test (Fourth Edition, SDMT4) across
grades 2 to 12. We were particularly interested in, (a) what is the relationship between measures
obtained from the CB and PP modes, (b) what is the relationship between students’ computer
familiarity and their test scores? The results showed strong evidence of the comparability of
SDRT4 and SDMT4 scores for all levels regardless of the administration mode. Students had same
feeling on two modes based on.

2097.1 Serial experimental study on the effects of exemplar activation in social judgment,
Xinbo Wang, China
Through the investigation of the condition, intensity, direction and relations with other mental
phenomena of the exemplar-activation effect in social judgment, the study aims to find characters
of it, and then to provide some references to the researches of social cognition. the systematic
study consists of five experiments. Subjects are college students and postgraduates. Various
methods, such as assessment scale, SDT, projective technique and situational test, are employed in
the experiments. The main results suggest that the assimilation effect exist explicitly or implicitly
in all the areas of social judgment; the existing and effecting of the effect needs certain conditions.
