Atehortua, Laura – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Intelligence tests are used in a variety of settings such as schools, clinics, and courts to assess the intellectual capacity of individuals of all ages. Intelligence tests are used to make high-stakes decisions such as special education placement, employment, eligibility for social security services, and determination of the death penalty.…

Peguero, Wendy – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Administration and scoring of cognitive assessments have evolved from a paper-based platform to a digital format. Since this advancement, Pearson has created a system (Q-interactive) that allows examiners to administer the WISC-V via two iPads. However, limited research exists exploring the effects of this new method of administration when…

McGill, Ryan J.; Ward, Thomas J.; Canivez, Gary L. – School Psychology International, 2020
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is the most widely used intelligence test in the world. Now in its fifth edition, the WISC-V has been translated and adapted for use in nearly a dozen countries. Despite its popularity, numerous concerns have been raised about some of the procedures used to develop and validate translated and…

Kettler, Ryan J. – School Psychology International, 2020
This article is a commentary on McGill et al.'s (2020) article "Use of Translated and Adapted Versions of the WISC-V: Caveat Emptor." McGill et al. use caveat emptor in their title to indicate that the buyer of an assessment must be careful about the product being purchased, presumably because the seller of the assessment is not being…

Canivez, Gary L.; Youngstrom, Eric A. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2019
The Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) taxonomy of cognitive abilities married John Horn and Raymond Cattell's Extended Gf-Gc theory with John Carroll's Three-Stratum Theory. While there are some similarities in arrangements or classifications of tasks (observed variables) within similar broad or narrow dimensions, other salient theoretical features and…

Meyer, Emily M.; Reynolds, Matthew R. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2018
The purpose of this study was to use multidimensional scaling (MDS) to investigate relations among scores from the standardization sample of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Fifth edition (WISC-V; Wechsler, 2014). Nonmetric two-dimensional MDS maps were selected for interpretation. The most cognitively complex subtests and indexes…

Norfolk, Philip A.; Farmer, Ryan L.; Floyd, Randy G.; Woods, Isaac L.; Hawkins, Haley K.; Irby, Sarah M. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2015
The representativeness, recency, and size of norm samples strongly influence the accuracy of inferences drawn from their scores. Inadequate norm samples may lead to inflated or deflated scores for individuals and poorer prediction of developmental and academic outcomes. The purpose of this study was to apply Kranzler and Floyd's method for…

McGill, Ryan J.; Styck, Kara M.; Palomares, Ronald S.; Hass, Michael R. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2016
As a result of the upcoming Federal reauthorization of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA), practitioners and researchers have begun vigorously debating what constitutes evidence-based assessment for the identification of specific learning disability (SLD). This debate has resulted in strong support for a method that…

Mrazik, Martin; Janzen, Troy M.; Dombrowski, Stefan C.; Barford, Sean W.; Krawchuk, Lindsey L. – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2012
A total of 19 graduate students enrolled in a graduate course conducted 6 consecutive administrations of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 4th edition (WISC-IV, Canadian version). Test protocols were examined to obtain data describing the frequency of examiner errors, including administration and scoring errors. Results identified 511…

Watkins, Marley W.; Kush, Joseph C.; Glutting, Joseph J. – School Psychology Quarterly, 1997
Examines the Symbol, Search, Coding, Arithmetic, and Digit Span (SCAD) subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (3rd ed.) (WISC-III) by comparing 363 students with learning and emotional disabilities to the WISC-III normative sample. Results indicate that the SCAD profile is neither a valid diagnostic indicator nor an important…

Macmann, Gregg M.; Barnett, David W. – School Psychology Quarterly, 1997
Used computer simulation to examine the reliability of interpretations for Kaufman's "intelligent testing" approach to the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (3rd ed.) (WISC-III). Findings indicate that factor index-score differences and other measures could not be interpreted with confidence. Argues that limitations of IQ testing…

Maller, Susan J. – Journal of School Psychology, 1997
Translated five subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (3rd ed.)--Picture Completion, Information, Similarities, Vocabulary, and Comprehension--into sign language and administered tests to 110 severely and profoundly deaf children. Results indicate that many of the subtest items differentially measured intelligence for deaf…

Macmann, Gregg M.; Barnett, David W. – School Psychology Quarterly, 1997
Summarizes a special journal issue that is intended to provide professionals and other members of the policy-shaping community with information concerning the appropriate role of IQ testing in school psychological services. Suggests that IQ testing is unfounded and has led the field of school psychology astray. (RJM)

Brown, Scott W. – Roeper Review, 1984
The paper discusses issues involved in the identification of gifted handicapped children, reviewing several research studies that attempted to define a specific configuration of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised subtest scores indicative of handicapped children possessing intellectual gifts. The author concludes that profiles and…

A Response to Some Questions Raised About the Woodcock-Johnson: I. The Mean Score Discrepancy Issue.

Woodcook, Richard W. – School Psychology Review, 1984
Twenty-one studies that reported mean score differences between the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Ability (WJTCA) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) Full Scale are summarized. The differences are found to be minimal and are attributed to data bias and WJTCA's higher correlation with achievement. (EGS)
