Researchers investigated the self-concept profiles of twice-exceptional students in relationship to their cognitive ability and participation in educational services. All subjects (N = 64) had high ability (IQ score at or above the 90th percentile) and were diagnosed with either an autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n = 53) or specific learning…

One-hundred and sixty-four Black, White, and Latino children (7-15years old) with possible learning disabilities were administered the WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children) and the WISC-R (Revised) to examine the similarity in the amount of subtest scatter equivalence of meaning, and degree of equivalent diagnosis between the two tests.

A study involving 98 children (6 to 13 years old) in ten learning disabilities (LD) classes investigated the hypothesized pattern of recategorized WISC-R (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised) subtest scores into spatial, conceptual, and sequential areas. (SBH)

The study involving 40 learning disabled children (6-8 years old) investigated the relationships between the various indexes of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) and the scales of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), and the comparability between the MSCA General Cognitive Index and the WISC-R Full Scale…

Forty-six Black children (seven- through ten-years-old) referred for learning or behavior problems were administered both the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children- Revised (WISC-R) and the WISC. Ss had significantly lower WISC-R than WISC score, supporting previous studies which suggest that the WISC-R norms are "tougher" than the…

The study compared the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery Tests of Cognitive Ability and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised for a sample of 51 learning disabled children (7-11 years old). (Author/SBH)

The study was designed to investigate scatter produced by 105 learning disabled (LD) children (6 to 16 years old) and to compare Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) scatter with that produced by A. Kaufman's (1976) normal population. Range of scaled scores (i.e., scatter) was significantly greater for the LD group. (SBH)

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) protocols of 55 children (5 to 17 years old) referred for academic problems were examined using a factor-score approach in terms of clusters of subtests hypothesized to reflect functional differences in learning styles. (Author/SBH)

A study involving 104 students (7-12 years old) was conducted to identify subgroups of reading disabled children on the basis of similarities in Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised profiles, and to explore the implications of the obtained profiles from the standpoint of remediation and differential programing.
