Peer reviewedCoolidge, Frederick L. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1976
The present study compared diagnostic classification of the standard and an abbreviated form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale using brain-damaged and psychiatric patients as subjects. Multivariate analysis of the results revealed a fair degree of similarity between the two forms of WAIS. (SE)

Peer reviewedMatarazzo, Joseph D.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1975
The duration of utterance, latency, and interruption speech behavior of 30 young job applicants was studied under three speaking conditions. In the third condition, the employment interview, a number of positive correlations emerged. Verbal IQ is positively correlated with a speaker's mean duration of utterance, especially when he is discussing…

Peer reviewedTroll, Lillian E.; And Others – Journal of Gerontology, 1976
After seven years, a group (N=32) of originally nonemployed poverty-level older people (over 60) now employed as foster grandparents were retested with the WAIS. Three subtest scores showed stability and Digit Span showed a statistically significant drop. Neither age nor initial level of health or WAIS scores was related to test-score changes over…

Previous research, however, has not specified either the structure of inverview training with the mildly retarded or the outcomes of those programs. In a recent study, 29 of 40 mentally retarded young adults filled…

Peer reviewedStorandt, Martha – Journal of Gerontology, 1977
Timed and untimed scoring methods were employed with five WAIS subtests administered to 40 young and 40 old subjects matched for verbal intelligence. Elimination of bonuses for rapid performance differentially improved the scores of older subjects but did not raise those scores to levels achieved by the young. (Author)

Oster, Gerald D.; And Others – 1979
An important reaction to individuals involved in problem solving is detecting the accuracy of their responses. Prior research has established that young adults are accurate in estimating correctness to responses on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). These findings were extended to the elderly; also considered was whether…
