Comparison of WAIS-III Short Forms for Measuring Index and Full-Scale Scores
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Girard, Todd A.; Axelrod, Bradley N.; Wilkins, Leanne K. – Assessment, 2010
This investigation assessed the ability of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Third Edition (WAIS-III) short forms to estimate both index and IQ scores in a large, mixed clinical sample (N = 809). More specifically, a commonly used modification of Ward's seven-subtest short form (SF7-A), a recently proposed index-based SF7-C and eight-subtest…

Augmenting the Core Battery with Supplementary Subtests: Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV Measurement Invariance across the United States and Canada
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Bowden, Stephen C.; Saklofske, Donald H.; Weiss, Lawrence G. – Assessment, 2011
Examination of measurement invariance provides a powerful method to evaluate the hypothesis that the same set of psychological constructs underlies a set of test scores in different populations. If measurement invariance is observed, then the same psychological meaning can be ascribed to scores in both populations. In this study, the measurement…

The Backward Span of the Corsi Block-Tapping Task and Its Association with the WAIS-III Digit Span
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kessels, Roy P. C.; van den Berg, Esther; Ruis, Carla; Brands, Augustina M. A. – Assessment, 2008
The Corsi Block-Tapping Task measures visuospatial short-term and working memory, but a standardized backward condition is lacking. The authors present a standardized backward procedure that was examined in 246 healthy older adults (ages 50 to 92), comparing the results with the Digit Span subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Third…

The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III and Malingering in Traumatic Brain Injury: Classification Accuracy in Known Groups
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Curtis, Kelly L.; Greve, Kevin W.; Bianchini, Kevin J. – Assessment, 2009
A known-groups design was used to determine the classification accuracy of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III (WAIS-III) variables in detecting malingered neurocognitive dysfunction (MND) in traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI patients were classified into the following groups: (a) mild TBI not-MND (n = 26), (b) mild TBI MND (n = 31), and (c)…

Comparative Test-Retest Stability of Four WAIS-R Selected Subtest Short Forms in Persons 75 to 87 Years.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ryan, Joseph J.; And Others – Assessment, 1994
The retest stability of four Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) short forms (Kaufman, Ishikuma, and Kaufman-Packer; Reynolds, Wilson and Clark; Silverstein; Ward) was investigated with 61 subjects aged 75 to 87 years. Short form stability in each instance was comparable to that of the standard WAIS-R. (SLD)

Comparison of WAIS-R Selected Subtest Short Forms in a Mixed Clinical Population.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Abraham, Elizabeth; Axelrod, Bradley N.; Paolo, Anthony M. – Assessment, 1997
Seven different short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Revised (WAIS-R) were compared in a mixed clinical sample of 306 adults to evaluate short form predictions of the full scale IQ. The seven-test short form of C. Ward (1990) was the best predictor across ranges of intellectual functioning, supporting its use when time is limited.…
