Researchers investigated the self-concept profiles of twice-exceptional students in relationship to their cognitive ability and participation in educational services. All subjects (N = 64) had high ability (IQ score at or above the 90th percentile) and were diagnosed with either an autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n = 53) or specific learning…

It was concluded that interpretation of Wechsler Scales according to criteria found appropriate for EEG abnormal adults is not appropriate for children. (Authors/MB)

One-hundred and sixty-four Black, White, and Latino children (7-15years old) with possible learning disabilities were administered the WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children) and the WISC-R (Revised) to examine the similarity in the amount of subtest scatter equivalence of meaning, and degree of equivalent diagnosis between the two tests.

Presented are the results of a national study in which the Performance Scale of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised was standardized on a national sample of 1,228 deaf children between the ages of 6 and 16 years. (DLS)

A study involving 98 children (6 to 13 years old) in ten learning disabilities (LD) classes investigated the hypothesized pattern of recategorized WISC-R (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised) subtest scores into spatial, conceptual, and sequential areas. (SBH)

The study involving 40 learning disabled children (6-8 years old) investigated the relationships between the various indexes of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) and the scales of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), and the comparability between the MSCA General Cognitive Index and the WISC-R Full Scale…

The use and validity of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and the Slooson Intelligence Test as screening devices when compared to the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children was studied in 36 mentally retarded adolescents. (Author)

The study was designed to provide information regarding the relationship between the WPPSI (Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence) and the WISC-R (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised), over a 1-year interval, for 90 children (an average age of 5.6 years at the time of first testing) of above average intelligence.…

Fifty-nine prelingually deaf children (8-to 12-years-old) were tested with both the Performance Scale of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Revised (WISC-R) and the Hiskey-Nebraska Test of Learning Aptitude (H-NTLA) results showed that scores from the WISC-R Performance Scale are comparable to scores from the H-NTLA and can be used in…

The Devereux Short Form and the standard Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children were administered in counterbalanced order to 26 mentally retarded children (mean age 12 years, mean IQ 50). (Author)
