Keller, Richard M. – 1997
This paper focuses on challenges to psychologists and psychology graduate students who are blind or visually impaired in the administration and scoring of various psychological tests. Organized by specific tests, the paper highlights those aspects of testing which pose particular difficulty to testers with visual impairments and also describes…

Detterman, Douglas K.; Daniel, Mark H. – Intelligence, 1989
Two studies (N=4,261 persons) illustrate an inverse relationship between ability level and correlations among IQ measures. Low IQ subjects showed higher correlations than did high IQ subjects. Intercorrelations of IQ subtests, intercorrelations of cognitive ability measures, and correlations of IQ with measures of cognitive ability displayed the…

Slate, John R.; Jones, Craig H. – Psychology in the Schools, 1990
Investigated specific problem caused by traditional method of teaching students to administer Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised. Analysis of 180 protocols by 26 graduate students revealed average of 8.8 mistakes per protocol. When errors were corrected, 81 percent of Full Scale intelligence quotients were changed. Students' performance…

Ofiesh, Nicole S. – Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, 2000
Examined whether processing speed tests can predict the benefits of extended test time for college students with learning disabilities. Found that the Visual Matching and Cross Out tests from the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Ability-Revised were significantly correlated with the benefit of extended test time, while the Digit Symbol subtest…

Paul, Steven M. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1986
Normative data for the Advanced Raven's Progressive Matrices are presented based on 300 University of California, Berkeley, students. Correlations with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and the Terman Concept Mastery Test are explored. The relationship between the Advanced Raven's Progressive Matrices and Spearman's g is explored. (Author)

Patterson, Mike; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1995
Protocols (n=149) of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised that were completed by 22 graduate students were analyzed to determine the effectiveness of practice administrations in developing examiner competence. Even completing 10 administrations did not reduce errors students made, suggesting that careful training is required. (SLD)

Voskuil, Susan; Tucker, Inez A. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 1987
To examine participant and examiner bias, graduate students posing as disabled examiners in a wheelchair administered the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Revised to 101 nondisabled college students. In terms of bias operating to influence subtest scores, only participant gender had a significant effect. Men scored higher than women on both the…

Smith, R. Spencer – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1983
Compared the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and the WAIS-Revised (WAIS-R) in a sample of college students (N=70). A highly significant test order interaction was found. The WAIS-R will result in significantly higher ability estimates when administered following the WAIS than the WAIS will when following the WAIS-R. (JAC)

Steyaert, James P.; Snyder, John F. – 1983
Performance on the Digit Span (DSP) and Digit Symbol (DSY) subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) have been said to be vulnerable to the effects of anxiety, seating arrangements, and sex of subject. To determine the effects of these variables on anxiety and test performance on the WAIS-R DSP and DSY subtests, 40 male and 40…

Fantuzzo, John W.; Moon, Gary W. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1984
Evaluated the effectiveness of the MASTERY model in teaching skills to graduate students (N=31) in the administration of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R). Results demonstrated that the MASTERY algorithm can be utilized as an effective means of assessing and training clinicians to pre-established competency standards of WAIS-R…

Ryan, Joseph J.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1983
Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised protocols from two vocational counseling clients were scored by 19 psychologists and 20 graduate students. Regardless of scorer's experience level, mechanical scoring error produced summary scores varying by as much as 4 to 18 IQ points. (Author/RC)

Stewart, Donald W. – Guidance & Counselling, 1994
Many postsecondary students who request academic accommodations for learning disabilities actually show no documentable learning disability but a discrepancy between their intellectual ability and their achievement aspirations (i.e., a "yearning disability") rather than a discrepancy between their ability and achievement (i.e., a…

Whitworth, Randolph H.; Gibbons, Ruth T. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1986
A cross-racial comparison of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) was made with the revised version, the WAIS-R. Three groups of Anglo, Black, and Mexican-American male college students were administered both versions of the WAIS on the same day. Significant differences were found among the racial groups.

Wrobel, Thomas A.; Howells, Nancy R. – 1982
To examine the issue of item bias within the context of the revised Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R), judgments as to perceived item bias were sought. Independent raters nominated 53 WAIS-R items as containing possible bias. White and non-white college students nominated items as racially or sexually biased. Whereas 10 items were judged…
