The study examines whether the average performance of the population with dyslexia in a working memory measure can be inferred dimensionally from the characteristics of the typical population. Specifically, we focused on Associative Phonological Working Memory (APWM), an ability that we predicted being impaired in dyslexia due to the relationship…

Analyzed intelligence and achievement test scores for 100 learning disabled boys to investigate the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) as a predictor of Woodcock Johnson reading, mathematics, and written language scores. WISC-R performance IQ predicted the greatest variance. (JAC)

Compared the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) (WISC-R) and the Leiter International Performance Scale with 40 average and above average students. Results indicated a curvilinear relationship between the WISC-R and the Leiter, which correlates higher at the mean and deviates as the Full Scale varies from the mean. (JAC)

Data gathered from 351 students administered the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Education (WISC-III) were used to analyze the 30-second interval performance on the Coding subtest. Results based on both IQ and special-education classification revealed no significant difference in performance. Cautions regarding the diagnostic use of…

Administered the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised to 187 Black, 184 Hispanic, and 184 White children aged six to 11. The Verbal-Performance (V-P) IQ discrepancies were determined. The overall mean of 10.74 was similar to the V-P discrepancy found in the WISC-R standardization sample. (JAC)

Examined the generalizability of the Bannatyne Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) profile of learning disabled children to Mexican-American children (N=64). Analysis suggested that learning disabled Mexican-American children were not characterized by Spatial > Conceptual > Sequential patterns as predicted by Bannatyne.…

Attempted to develop a quantitative model using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) that could be used to predict those students most likely to be successful in gifted education programs. Study used two phases using two groups of elementary school students (N=161). Used subtests to predict program performance of gifted…

For 72 elementary school students, Slosson Intelligence Tests (SITs) administered by school counselors correlated significantly with school psychologist-administered Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) (r=.75). Slosson intelligence quotient (IQ) correlated significantly higher with WISC-R Verbal IQ than with Performance IQ.…

Attempts to provide initial information on the use of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children as a predictor of neurological dysfunction in pediatric patients. (RB)

Investigated the interactional effects in male children (N=188) of socioeconomic status (low versus middle) and cognitive tempo (impulsive versus reflective) on four Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) subtests. Participants with an apparent double advantage (middle-SES reflectives) significantly outscored the doubly…

Compared the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) and the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery (W-J) for 142 children with regular and learning-disabled (LD) class placement. The W-J and WISC-R evidenced low to moderate correlations and significant mean differences. W-J/WISC-R correlations for the regular students exceeded…

Students (N=54) not designated as learning disabled completed the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. Significant differences were found in the mean scores between the two measures, suggesting that the Woodcock-Johnson may be loaded with verbal factors. (NRB)

Administered the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, and Wechsler Preschool Primary Scale of Intelligence in a counterbalanced design to randomly selected elementary school children (N=72). Results indicated that the verbal Intelligence Quotients (IQs) were comparable, but the performance and…

Examined the predictive validity of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) in 64 Mexican-American children. All the correlations among the WISC-R factor scores and academic achievement were low. In contrast, significant relationships were observed between IQ scores and achievement measures, suggesting utility of the WISC-R IQs in…

WISC and WISC-R test results were correlated with achievement test scores and school grades of 36 children who had completed two years of school. Global intelligence estimates from both scales correlated at significant levels with all achievement test measures. (Author)
