Abstract
ROSSI CASE, Lilia; NEER, Rosa and LOPETEGUI, Susana. Raven's progressive matrices test: scale construction and verification of "flynn effect". Orientac. soc. [online]. 2002, vol.3, pp.181-187. ISSN 1851-8893.
In this paper, the scales of Raven's Progressive Matrices Test, General Scale and Advanced Scale, Series II, for the student population (third cycle of EGB and Polimodal ) in the city of La Plata are presented. Considerations are made as regards both the increase in scores (Flynn effect) observed in relation to the previous scale (1964) and the different mean scores according to two age groups (13-16 and 17-18 years of age) and education mode. The findings enabled inferences related to the significance of the increase, particularly in the case of the higher scores in the population attending a special kind of educational institution.
