Weiss, Lawrence G.; Gregoire, Jacques; Zhu, Jianjun – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2016
Many Flynn effect (FE) studies compare scores across different editions of Wechsler's IQ tests. When construct changes are introduced by the test developers in the new edition, however, the presumed generational effects are difficult to untangle from changes due to test content. To remove this confound, we use the same edition of Wechsler…

Evans, Ronald G. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1985
Rescored Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Revised) protocols from 81 normal adults using the Satz Mogel short form procedure. Low correlations between the short forms and full protocols suggest the Satz Mogel procedure can serve only as a gross screening test with normal adults. (JAC)

Coyle, Thomas R.; Pillow, David R. – Intelligence, 2008
This research examined whether the SAT and ACT would predict college grade point average (GPA) after removing g from the tests. SAT and ACT scores and freshman GPAs were obtained from a university sample (N=161) and the 1997 National Longitudinal Study of Youth (N=8984). Structural equation modeling was used to examine relationships among g, GPA,…

Hiltonsmith, Robert W.; And Others – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1984
Investigated the use of the Revised Beta for predicting Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) scores of low functioning minority group criminal offenders (N=90). Results showed that offenders scored significantly lower on the Beta than on the WAIS-R. (LLL)

Paal, Nicholaus; And Others – Journal of Rehabilitation of the Deaf, 1988
The study examined the correlations between academic achievement and scores on the Hiskey-Nebraska Test of Learning Aptitude, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) Performance Scale, with 35 deaf high school students. Results validated the use of the WAIS-R as a predictor of academic achievement for this population. (DB)

McCullough, C. Sue; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1985
Examined the Wechsler Scales as predictors of academic achievement for a sample of Native Americans (N=75) from the Columbia Basin area. Results indicated significant Verbal-Performance discrepancies with mean Verbal scores significantly below the normative mean and Performance scores at or above the normative mean. (LLL)

Ziegler, Mark E.; Doehrman, Steven – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1979
Analysis of correlations between Verbal and Full Scale IQ scores for 231 high-IQ psychiatric outpatients indicated that Verbal IQ appears partially valid as a WAIS short form for this higher IQ group. Results are interpreted in terms of Resnick and Entin's short form validity criteria. (Editor/SJL)

Feingold, Alan – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the comparative validity of the Information and Vocabulary subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), the WAIS Verbal and Full Scale Intelligence Quotients, the verbal scores of several standardized scholastic aptitude tests, and their corresponding composite scores relative to a college…

Feingold, Alan – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1982
Analyzed published data on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) to ascertain whether the Information and Vocabulary subtests can function as measures of intelligence. Concluded that the addition of more WAIS subtests will not result in any increase in predictive validity and these additional tests, therefore, lack incremental validity.…

Leonard, Faith C. – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 1991
Data from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R), grade point average (GPA) after 2 semesters of full-time enrollment, and selected student characteristics were compared for 49 learning-disabled college students. WAIS-R results were not generally predictive of academic success, although Comprehension and Similarities subtests…

Feingold, Alan – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Age-scaled information and vocabulary scores of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and self-ratings of intelligence on a six-point scale were correlated for 190 predominately Caucasian undergraduates. Coefficients of the expected magnitude confirmed validity of the subtests as measures of self-rated intelligence. (Author/CM)

Mattis, Paul J.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1992
The predictive power of the short-form Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale of P. Satz and S. Mogel to provide equivalent information about IQ scores and age-corrected scale scores was not differentially affected by the side of the lesion for 63 patients with brain tumors. (SLD)

Ruble, Virgil E.; Schurr, K. Terry – Research & Teaching in Developmental Education, 1986
Describes a study of the effectiveness of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), high school graduation class percentile, and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), as predictors of short- and long-term academic achievement among a sample of 58 high-risk college freshmen who participated in 1-year special studies program.

Benedict, Ralph H. B.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1992
The concurrent validities of 3 short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) were compared for their prediction of full-scale IQ for 145 male and 159 female psychiatric inpatients. Results support previous research showing better predictive accuracy for L. C. Ward's (1990) seven-subtest short form than the others. (SLD)
