This study attempts to respond to the suggestions of Stewart and Jones and the criticisms of Sattler and Buckhalt by assessing the precision of the Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) in predicting Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) scores with a population of restricted range (gifted children), and examining the consistency of…

Although authors have varied opinions, it is the general concensus that the WISC-R is superior to the WISC. This author concurs. However, serious consideration should be given to the research findings before the WISC-R is substituted freely for the WISC as a criterion for special education placement. (Author)

This study compared the three scales of the WISC and the WISC-R for degree of intercorrelation. Results included significant correlations in all cases, no systematic changes in variance, and significantly lower IQs on the WISC-R for all children in the sample, except the EMRs. (Author)

So as to compare predicted achievement based upon WISC-R IQs and observed achievement by the WRAT standard scores, both instruments were administered by the same school psychologist to 282 urban students referred for psychological evaluation. The correlations obtained were substantial. (Author)

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Revised (WISC-R) Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQ's were compared with Bannatyne recategorized WISC-R scores for groups of non-handicapped, educationally disadvantaged, learning disabled, and regular classroom Navajo Indian children. No definitive evidence was found to support the use of the…

Because WISC users will inevitably need to shift from the WISC to the WISC-R, further research is needed to demonstrate the comparability of these two forms (and norms) of basically the same test. The present study provides data on EMR child children in the 12-1/2 to 14-1/2 year age range. (Author)
