Comparison of the Performance of Matched Groups of Black Children and White Children on the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence

Kaufman, Alan S.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 41, 2, 186-191, Oct 73

Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) Verbal, Performance and Full Scale IQ's were compared for blacks and whites (matched in age, sex, geographic region, father's occupation, and urban-rural residence). Although whites had significantly higher verbal and Full Scale IQ's at all age levels, Performance IQ was significantly higher for whites in the youngest group only. Results are compared to previous findings and implications discussed in terms of perceptual experiences. (Author)
