In this commentary, we reviewed two clinical validation studies on the Wechsler Scales conducted by Weiss and colleagues. These researchers used a rigorous within-battery model-fitting approach that demonstrated the factorial invariance of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) and Wechsler Adult Intelligence…

The present research was designed to determine whether performance on the Digit Span (DS) and Digit Symbol (D) subtests of the WAIS is affected by seating arrangement, since such information would be of obvious relevance to users of this test. (Author)

Psychological test data from 69 patients were examined for personality correlates of Wechsler Digit Span performance. (Author)

This study provided more details on the nature of the intellectual deficit suffered by persons having closed head injuries and the recovery process as measured on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). (Author/RK)

The abilities of the Henmon-Nelson, Cardall-Miles, Slosson and Quick Tests to predict WAIS-FS scores in a psychiatric hospital were compared. (Author)

Variables related to the intellectual functioning of 597 visually impaired persons were investigated. (Editor)

This study investigated the effect of verbal reinforcement (verbal approval contingent upon correct responses) upon the intelligence test performance of normal college students. (Author)

The effectiveness of the Wechsler Memory Scale as a screening test for brain dysfunction when used with "new" scoring procedures was assessed in this cross-validation study. (Editor)

The Wechsler Memory Scale was administered to 112 patients who had been referred to a clinical psychologist for investigation of cognitive functioning with regard to possible or actual organic pathology of the brain. The aim was to replicate the factor structure of this test found in a previous study. (Editor)

This research investigated the possibility that there exists a systematic difference in WAIS verbal and performance IQ indices. It was hypothesized that VIQ (verbal) scores on the WAIS tend to be significantly higher than PIQ (performance ability) scores. (Author/RK)

Aims of this study were to determine whether the factor structure produced in earlier research by Kear-Colwell (1973, 1977) on the Wechsler Memory Scale could be replicated in a non-patient population (most research uses patient populations) and also to examine the effects of age, sex, and social class on the performance of normal adults on this…
