Examined similarity of scores of 30 learning disabled students (aged 16 and 17) on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R). Results documented similarity between WISC-R and WAIS-R for 16 year-olds who were learning disabled and had average intellectual ability.…

Studies involving groups administered the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and the WAIS-Revised were examined to determine the validity of J. R. Flynn's (1987) findings of massive intelligence quotient gains in a single generation in many nations. Results for sampled adults support Flynn for the average intelligence range only. (TJH)

Evaluated with 50 mentally retarded adults (IQ range 38 to 69) was the efficacy of several short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. (DB)

This study is a concurrent validation of Level II of the Wide Range Achievement Test-Revised (WRAT-R) using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQ scores as criterion measures. Forty-five subjects were administered the WAIS-R and WRAT-R and their scores correlated. (Author/LMO)

Investigated the use of the Revised Beta for predicting Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) scores of low functioning minority group criminal offenders (N=90). Results showed that offenders scored significantly lower on the Beta than on the WAIS-R. (LLL)

Administered the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised to mildly retarded adults (N=21). Results indicated that the revised Peabody tended to yield significantly lower estimates of functioning than did the other measures. (Author/LLL)

Six short forms of the WAIS were compared as to their accuracy for estimating full scale IQs in a mentally retarded population. (Author)

Investigated the Vocabulary-Block Design short form for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised), Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Revised) in a sample of 126 male delinquent adolescents. Concluded that short forms, especially the WAIS and WAIS-R, are useful screening tests. (Author/JAC)

Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised subtests, as administered to 204 adults with low IQs, were factor analyzed. Solutions proved comparable to structures extracted from the normative data and to solutions based on other standardized tests for persons with low IQs. (Author)

Explores alternative empirical foundations of verbal and performance dichotomous constructs of Wechsler Intelligence Scales. Argues that Macmann and Barnett's position on the value of these constructs are based upon narrow interpretations of investigative results. Supports contention with IQ data from investigations of diverse populations. (CRR)

Six hierarchical clustering methods were applied to subtest intercorrelations for each of the nine age groups in the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) standardization sample. Results point to the possibility of three simultaneously plausible solutions as they support each of the traditional factor structures in varying degrees.…

Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) patterns can be tied feasibily to personality descriptions. A method is presented for the actuarialstudy of WAIS patterns. (Author/DEP)

Assesses proposed new demographic information formulas for estimating premorbid Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales-Revised Intelligence Quotient scores. Investigated cross-validation of this index on a neurologically normal but clinically relevant criterion group and determined the neuropsychological utility of the formulas to discriminate between…
