Distinguishing Patterns for Mexican-American Children on the WISC-R.

Dean, Raymond S.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v35 n4 p790-94 Oct 1979

Matched samples of Mexican American and Anglo children with learning difficulty referrals were compared on WISC-R subtest performance. The Mexican Americans scored significantly lower on Similarities, Arithmetic, and Picture Completion. Their Verbal and Performance IQ score discrepancies suggest that the major educational problem of this group is linguistic. (SJL)
