A Longitudinal Study of WISC-R and WAIS-R Scores with Students Who Are Educable Mentally Handicapped.

Avery, Richard O.; And Others

Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v24 n1 p28-31 Mar 1989

Scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) Verbal, Performance, and Full Scales were compared for 26 adolescents with educable mental handicaps. The WAIS-R, while strongly correlated with the WISC-R, provided higher scores on all three scales. Several WISC-R subtests were minimally correlated with WAIS-R counterparts. (Author/JDD)
