Relationships between the McCarthy General Cognitive Index and WISC-R Full Scale IQ with the Wide Range Achievement reading scores were explored with a sample of 20 educable mentally retarded and 20 learning disabled children, ages six to nine. (Author/SJL)

Peer reviewedNaglieri, Jack A. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1982
Indices of scatter on the WISC-R and McCarthy Scales were examined for 20 educable mentally retarded and 20 learning disabled children in relation to 20 matched controls and to standardization samples. Exceptional children exhibited more subtest scatter and variability than the standardization sample but not more than the control group. (Author/RD)

Peer reviewedSimons, Marc R.; Goh, David S. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Correlations between McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities and teachers' ratings of academic achievement were investigated. McCarthy Scales are useful in predicting achievement of normal children, but further research is needed with learning disabled students. Use of teachers' rating scales with low functioning children is discussed in light of…

Peer reviewedGoh, David S.; Simons, Marc R. – Psychology in the Schools, 1980
Learning disabled children performed lower than general education children on all five major scale indexes. A similar amount of scatter was present in the profiles of learning disabled and general education children. No specific pattern of scale indexes could be determined as typical for learning disabled children. (Author)

This paper reports briefly on a program aimed at preventing the educational disadvantagement of young children through (1) the identification of preschool and kindergarten children who displayed deficits in general cognitive ability; (2) the development of a half-day program providing individually prescribed instruction to each of these children…

Peer reviewedTaylor, Ronald L.; Ivimey, John K. – Psychology in the Schools, 1980
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) Comprehension, Arithmetic, and Object Assembly and McCarthy Quantitative and Memory Indices were most sensitive to learning disabled students' achievement. Conversely, the WISC-R Similarities and Arithmetic and the McCarthy Verbal Index were most sensitive to achievement of nonlearning…
