Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Forward Memory, Wave 3, 2000-2002 (ICPSR 13705)
Released/updated on: 2007-03-27
Geographic coverage: United States, Chicago, Illinois
Time period: 2000-01-01--2002-01-01
The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families, schools, and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development. One component of the PHDCN was the Longitudinal Cohort Study, which was a series of coordinated longitudinal studies that followed over 6,000 randomly selected children, adolescents, and young adults, and their primary caregivers over time to examine the changing circumstances of their lives, as well as the personal characteristics, that might lead them toward or away from a variety of antisocial behaviors. Numerous measures were administered to respondents to gauge various aspects of human development, including individual differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. One such measure was the Forward Memory instrument. It was taken from the attention and memory battery of the Leiter International Performance Scale, and it assessed cognitive function in subjects by measuring visuospatial memory. It was administered to subjects in Cohort 0.

Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, Wave 3, 2000-2002 (ICPSR 13732)
Released/updated on: 2007-03-27

Numerous measures were administered to respondents to gauge various aspects of human development, including individual differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. One such measure was the The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT). It was designed as a test of receptive vocabulary achievement and verbal ability and was administered to subjects in Cohort 0. Subjects were shown four numbered pictures and were read a word by a research assistant. The subject was then asked to point to the picture or say the number of the picture that corresponded to the word spoken by the research assistant.

Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Stanford-Binet, Wave 1, 1994-1997 (ICPSR 13599)
Released/updated on: 2006-02-20
Geographic coverage: United States, Chicago, Illinois
Time period: 1994-01-01--1997-01-01

Numerous measures were administered to respondents to gauge various aspects of human development, including individual differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. Traditionally, the Stanford-Binet (SB) Intelligence Scale was a wide-range individual test, assessing intelligence from age two through the superior adult level. It was an age scale, requiring subjects to solve problems, give definitions, memorize new material, and use some visual-motor skills at various age levels. For this study, the SB included a vocabulary subtest consisting of providing both names of pictures and definitions of words. It was only administered to Cohort 3.

Numerous measures were administered to respondents to gauge various aspects of human development, including individual differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) was a general test of intelligence, which David Wechsler, the test's author, defined as "the global capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with his environment." In keeping with this definition of intelligence as an aggregate of mental aptitudes or abilities, the WAIS-R has traditionally consisted of 11 subtests divided into two parts, verbal and performance. For this study, the WAIS-R included definitions of words only. It was only administered to Cohort 18.
