Demonstrating the power of mathematical modelling in testing theoretical assumptions, this volume presents two studies of the development of spatial abilities among seven- to 16-year-old subjects. The emergence of two distinct groups of "good" and "poor" performers has implications for a number of issues, including those of continuity-discontinuity of development and gender differences.

<p>An important problem in personnel psychology, namely, the psychometric problem known as "validity generalization" is addressed in this volume. From a statistical point of view, the problem is how to make statements about a population correlation coefficient based on inferences from a collection of sample correlation coefficients. The first part of the book examines the largely ad hoc procedures which have been used to determine validity generalization. The second part develops a new model formulated from the perspective of finite mixture theory and, in addition, illustrates its use in several applications.</p>

The goal of the present research as presented in this Monograph is to understand individual differences and growth of children's and adolescent's performance on two spatial tasks through a formal model framework.
