Comparison of WISC and WISC-R Scores of Referred Black, White and Latino Children

Swerdlik, Mark E.

Journal of School Psychology, 16, 2, 110-24, Sum 78

A total of 72 school psychologists administered both the WISC and WISC-R to 164 black, white and Latino children. These children had been referred to the school psychologist because of concerns about their intellectual ability. Significant WISC/WISC-R differences were found, with the WISC-R yielding lower results. (Author)
