Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Trelle, Alexandra N.; Henson, Richard N.; Green, Deborah A. E.; Simons, Jon S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
In a Yes/No object recognition memory test with similar lures, older adults typically exhibit elevated rates of false recognition. However, the contributions of impaired retrieval, relative to reduced availability of target details, are difficult to disentangle using such a test. The present investigation sought to decouple these factors by…

Optimal Short Forms of the Spanish WAIS (EIWA).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Demsky, Yvonne; Gass, Carlton; Edwards, William T.; Golden, Charles J. – Assessment, 1998
Investigated optimal two-, three-, four-, and five-test short forms of the Escala de Inteligencia Wechsler para Adultos (EIWA), the Spanish form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (D. Wechsler, 1956). Results with 616 adults suggest that use of the EIWA should be limited to research and tracking cognitive changes over time. (SLD)

Comparison of the K-BIT with Short Forms of the WAIS-R in a Neuropsychological Population.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Eisenstein, Norman; Engelhart, Charles I. – Psychological Assessment, 1997
The Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT) (A. S. Kaufman and N. L. Kaufman, 1990) was compared with short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised (WAIS-R) using results from 64 referrals to a neuropsychology service. Advantages of each test are noted and their use discussed. (SLD)

Composite Reliability and Standard Errors of Measurement for a Seven-Subtest Short Form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schretlen, David; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1994
Composite reliability and standard errors of measurement were computed for prorated Verbal, Performance, and Full-Scale intelligence quotient (IQ) scores from a seven-subtest short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised. Results with 1,880 adults (standardization sample) indicate that this form is as reliable as the complete test.…

Comparison of WAIS-R Selected Subtest Short Forms in a Mixed Clinical Population.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Abraham, Elizabeth; Axelrod, Bradley N.; Paolo, Anthony M. – Assessment, 1997
Seven different short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Revised (WAIS-R) were compared in a mixed clinical sample of 306 adults to evaluate short form predictions of the full scale IQ. The seven-test short form of C. Ward (1990) was the best predictor across ranges of intellectual functioning, supporting its use when time is limited.…

Interpretation of VIQ-PIQ and Intersubtest Differences on the Spanish Version of the WAIS (EIWA).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Demsky, Yvonne I.; Gass, Carlton S.; Golden, Charles J. – Assessment, 1998
Standardization data based on responses of 616 Puerto Ricans to the Spanish version of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (D. Wechlser, 1981) reveal reliability data and base rates to assist in evaluating the clinical significance of differences between Performance Intelligence Quotient (PIQ) and Verbal Intelligence Quotient (VIQ).…

Efficacy of the Satz-Mogel Short Form WAIS-R for Tumor Patients with Lateralized Lesions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mattis, Paul J.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1992
The predictive power of the short-form Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale of P. Satz and S. Mogel to provide equivalent information about IQ scores and age-corrected scale scores was not differentially affected by the side of the lesion for 63 patients with brain tumors. (SLD)

Concurrent Validity of Three WAIS-R Short Forms in Psychiatric Inpatients.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Benedict, Ralph H. B.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1992
The concurrent validities of 3 short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) were compared for their prediction of full-scale IQ for 145 male and 159 female psychiatric inpatients. Results support previous research showing better predictive accuracy for L. C. Ward's (1990) seven-subtest short form than the others. (SLD)
