Validation of a Learning Disability Index (LDI) Derived from a Principal Components Analysis of the WISC-R.

Tittemore, J. A.; And Others

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v18 n8 p449-54 Oct 1985

A learning disability index (LDI) based on a principal components analysis of the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised normative data has been developed to depict verbal or nonverbal deficits on that test. Ss (N=1550) referred for educational difficulties returned mean scores on the LDI that were reliably different from expected scores of the normative population. (Autor/CL)
