This research examined two samples of students classified as learning disabled (LD) for evidence of the phenomenon known as the Flynn effect (FE; Flynn, 1999). Triennial test data were collected for two samples. Sample 1 included students tested twice with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Third Edition (WISC-III; n 59). Sample 2, the primary data set, included students tested first ...

PURPOSE Reliable change indices (RCIs) and standardized regression-based (SRB) change scores norms were established for the recently revised Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III (WAIS-III) and Wechsler Memory Scale-III (WMS-III) in patients with complex partial seizures. Establishment of such standardized change scores can be useful in determining the effects of epilepsy surgery on cognitive f...

The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence--Fourth Edition (WPPSI-IV; Wechsler, 2012) represents a substantial departure from its predecessor, including omission of 4 subtests, addition of 5 new subtests, and modification of the contents of the 5 retained subtests.
