Peer reviewedOakland, Thomas; And Others – Journal of School Psychology, 1975
Interrater differences in scoring actual WISC protocols were determined for three different IQ levels. In general, differences among the 94 examiners tended to be within an acceptable range as established by the standard error of measurement; variance on two Verbal subtests occasionally exceeded their corresponding standard error of measurement.…

Peer reviewedSattler, Jerome M.; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1978
Fabricated test protocols were used to study how effectively examiners agree in scoring ambiguous WISC-R responses. The results suggest that, even with the improved WISC-R manual, scoring remains a difficult and challenging task. (Author)

The study compared differences and similarities between WISC and WISC-R scores for 48 ten- and thirteen-year-old educable mentally retarded students, who were matched according to sex and race. Results suggest that many children classified as "Borderline" or slightly above the WISC will be classified as "Mentally Deficient" by…

Peer reviewedSmith, Monte D. – Psychology in the Schools, 1978
Stability of the WISC-R subtest profile for 161 learning disabled (LD) children over a 7-month test-retest interval was examined. A unique subtest profile reported earlier was replicated. Performance IQ was significantly greater than Verbal IQ at both testing occasions. (Author)

Peer reviewedTuma, June M.; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1978
WISC and WISC-R IQs of two groups of normal 10-year-old children from divergent socioeconomic backgrounds were compared in a counter-balanced research design. Significantly higher WISC IQs were obtained on Verbal and Full Scales of low socioeconomic group and on Performance and Full Scales of high socioeconomic group. (Author)

This study was undertaken to determine the suitability of the California Abbreviated WISC--Form 1 (CAW-1) for use with WISC-R subtests. Results indicate that the CAW-1 was suitable for use with WISC-R subtests with minor alterations. (Author)

Peer reviewedQuattrocchi, Mary; Sherrets, Steven – Psychology in the Schools, 1980
Although the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) involves modifications and a complete restandardization, the literature suggests that it remains very similar in nature to its predecessor, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC). Individuals perform on the WISC-R largely the same as they do on the WISC. (Author)

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (excluding Mazes and Digit Span) was administered to 64 third-grade children, randomly selected for IQ. Female examiners elicited higher Full Scale IQ, Verbal IQ, Comprehension, Similarities, and Vocabulary scores from all children. (Author)

THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF TASK SCORES VERSUS IQ AS PREDICTORS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT WAS INVESTIGATED, AND THE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN TASK SCORES AND IQ RE-EXAMINED. SUBJECTS WERE 99 UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH A MEAN STANFORD-BINET IQ OF 126 (SD EQUALS 19). THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE DUNN'S OBJECT SORTING TASK (OST),…
