Intellectual Classification of Black and White Children in Special Education Programs Using the WISC-III and the Cognitive Assessment System.
Naglieri, Jack A.; Rojahn, Johannes
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v106 n4 p359-67 Jul 2001
Comparison of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Third Edition) and the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS) with 78 special education students found that the WISC-III identified more children, especially more black children, as having mental retardation. Results imply that the problem of disproportionate identification of black children as mentally retarded may be partially addressed by using the CAS. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
