Munford, Paul R.; Munoz, Alejandra
Journal of Clinical Psychology, v36 n2 p452-57 Apr 1980
Administered the WISC and the WISC-R in a counterbalanced design to 20 Hispanic children. Revealed the WISC-R to be as culturally biased as the WISC and that more Hispanic children may be labeled as mentally deficient. Suggested that verbal IQ reflects the extent of acculturation, while Performance IQ reflects actual ability. (Author)
