Consistent with earlier research using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and the WISC-Revised, the Information, Digit Span, and Digit Symbol (i.e., Coding) subtests contribute substantially and independently to group differentiation. A. Bannatyne's Sequential factor also discriminates between these groups. (Author)

Gajar, Anna H. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1987
Modern Language Aptitude Test scores of regular students (N=244) enrolled in introductory foreign language classes were compared with their foreign language course performance. The fourth and fifth subtests predicted ability to learn a foreign language. Learning disabled (N=51) university students scored poorly on all five subtests. (DB)
