Comparability of the WAIS and the WAIS-R: A Consideration of Level of Neuropsychological Impairment.
Peer reviewedZarantonello, Matthew M. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1988
Found subjects of varying levels of neuropsychological impairment, administered revised Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R), obtained significantly lower Full Scale, Verbal, and Performance Intelligence Quotients (IQs) than did subjects administered original, full version WAIS. Indicated significant main effects for level of impairment for…

A brief discussion of theories of general intelligence precedes a report of relevant empirical data. Results from the factor analysis of more than 20 sets of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) data indicate that the WAIS clearly is not a one-factor scale. It does not measure a single, general intelligence. Roughly 17 percent of the reliable…

Peer reviewedRamey, Craig T.; Haskins, Ron – Intelligence, 1981
Infants judged to be at risk for subnormal intellectual growth were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups which varied as to educational curriculum activities. Two types of evidence, group differences and parent-child IQ correlations, demonstrate the importance of early environments in intellectual development. (Author/RD)

It was hypothesized that there are significant differences in intellectual patterns between black and white populations which can be demonstrated on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). A one-way analysis of variance was performed on the subjects' scores on the WAIS subtests and the Verbal, Peformance and Full Scale IQ using the ethnic…
