An Appraisal of Three Criteria for Evaluating the Usefulness of WAIS-R Short Forms.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Silverstein, A. B. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1985
The findings of research on short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales-Revised are used to illustrate points about three criteria for evaluating the usefulness of a short form. Results indicate there is little justification for regarding the three criteria as criteria. (Author/BL)

Validity of Random Short Forms: III. Wechsler's Intelligence Scales.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Silverstein, A. B. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1983
Formulas for estimating the validity of random short forms were applied to the standardization data for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale. These formulas demonstrated how much "better than random" the best short forms of these…

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)

WAIS-R Abbreviated Forms in the Elderly: A Comparison of the Satz-Mogel with a Seven-Subtest Short Form.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Paolo, Anthony M.; Ryan, Joseph J. – Psychological Assessment, 1993
The Satz-Mogel Abbreviation of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised (WAIS-R) was compared with a 7-subtest short form of 130 healthy and 40 neurologically impaired older adults. Both short forms were found similar for normal or impaired adults in comparison with the full WAIS-R. (SLD)

Validity and Time Savings in the Selection of Short Forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ward, L. Charles; Ryan, Joseph J. – Psychological Assessment, 1996
Validity and reliability were calculated from data in the standardization sample of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised for 565 proposed short forms. Time saved in comparison with use of the long form was estimated. The most efficient combinations were generally those composed of subtests that were quick to administer. (SLD)

Corrected Estimates of WAIS-R Short Form Reliability and Standard Error of Measurement.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Axelrod, Bradley N.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1996
The calculations of D. Schretlen, R. H. B. Benedict, and J. H. Bobholz for the reliabilities of a short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised (WAIS-R) (1994) consistently overestimated the values. More accurate values are provided for the WAIS--R and a seven-subtest short form. (SLD)
