What research indicates about identification procedures is that you should match the identification procedures to the intervention programs. That is, if the program is going to require a kid to do stuff that relies on WM and PS, don't use GAI for identification, because you're going to end up getting kids in the program who then can't handle the work, and you're going to exclude kids who should be in the program. This is most notable with the trend to use nonverbal fluid reasoning tests to identify kids for programs with high verbal written output requirements... a recipe for frustration on all sides.
Is the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT) an example of such a nonverbal fluid reasoning test?
