Further evidence of a practice effect on the Miller Analogies Test

Abstract

Does performance on the paper and pencil test of academic ability (the Miller Analogies Test) when used with graduate students, improve by repeated administration even when the Ss are not bright or psychologically sophisticated students? "In the present study, 27 of 36 liberal arts students (75%) improved their scores and the mean increase in score for the group was highly significant… scores on the MAT improve as a function of previous experience with an alternative form of the test and that this improvement is not limited to bright, psychologically sophisticated students."
