A sample of 200 healthy individuals, representative of the adult UK population in terms of age, gender, and occupational classification, completed a full-length WAIS-R. Demographic variables for the participants were recorded (age, gender, years of education, and occupational classification) and used to develop regression equations for the estimation of premorbid WAIS-R IQ. Step wise multiple r...

The present study aimed to investigate the test-retest reliability of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth edition (WISC-IV) in a sample 138 children with autism spectrum disorder...

objective electroencephalogram (eeg) is an easy and non invasive evaluation method for diagnosis and early prognosis in children. our aim was to assess the association between eeg and the patients' developmental quotient (dq) level in phenylketonuria. materials & methods in this study, 94 pku patients (45 boys, 49 girls; mean age: 8.5 6.2 years) who were diagnosed through newborn screening test...

This study used structural equation modeling to examine the effect of Stratum III (i.e., general intelligence) and Stratum II (i.e., Comprehension-Knowledge, Fluid Reasoning, Short-Term Memory, Processing Speed, and Visual Processing) factors of the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) cognitive abilities, as operationalized by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition (WISC-IV; Wechsl...

Weiss, Keith, Zhu, and Chen (2013a) and Weiss, Keith, Zhu, and Chen (2013b), this issue, report examinations of the factor structure of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Fourth Edition (WISC-IV), respectively; comparing Wechsler Hierarchical Model (W-HM) and Cattell–Horn–Carroll Hierarchical Model (CHC-HM), subtest cross-...

A matched samples design was employed to compare WAIS and WAIS-R IQ in UK subjects. The WAIS yielded significantly higher mean Full Scale, Verbal and Performance IQs. The mean differences were 7.5, 6.4 and 7.9 IQ points respectively. The WAIS and WAIS-R samples were broadly representative of the UK adult population in terms of age, sex and social class distribution, and therefore provide tentat...

The factor structure of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V; Wechsler, 2014a) standardization sample (N = 2,200) was examined using confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) with maximum likelihood estimation for all reported models from the WISC-V Technical and Interpretation Manual (Wechsler, 2014b). Additionally, alternative bifactor models were examined and variance ...

Research on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Third Edition (WAIS-III) suggests that practicing clinical psychologists and graduate students make item-level scoring errors that affect IQ, index, and subtest scores. Studies have been limited in that Full-Scale IQ (FSIQ) and examiner administration, recording, and scoring tasks have not been syste...

The present study examined the factor structure of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children– Fourth Edition, Spanish (WISC–IV Spanish, Wechsler, 2005a) with normative sample participants aged 6–16 years (N = 500) using confirmatory factor analytic techniques not reported in the WISC– IV Spanish Manual (Wechsler, 2005b). For the 10 core subtest configuration, 1 through 4, firstorder factor m...
