Cautions in Interpretation of Comparisons between the WAIS-R and the Wechsler Memory Scale.

Prifitera, Aurelio; Barley, William D.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v53 n4 p564-65 Aug 1985

Wechsler Memory Scale Memory Quotient (WMS MQ) 12 points below Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Full-Scale IQ (WAIS FSIQ) may indicate memory impairment. Investigated the relation of FSIQ to MQ when the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised rather than the WAIS is used. Discrepancy between FSIQ and MQ occurred less often with WAIS-R than with WAIS. (Author/MCF)
