Cuenin, Lynn H. – Learning Disabilities Focus, 1990
The Woodcock Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery (Revised) is reviewed in regard to its application with learning-disabled (LD) adults.

The study evaluated the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery (WJPEB) with 71 elementary grade learning disabled (LD) students.

Exceptional children exhibited more subtest scatter and variability than the standardization sample but not more than the control group. (Author/RD)

This bias is incompatible with the aptitude/achievement discrepancy model of specific learning disabilities.…

A Response to Some Questions Raised About the Woodcock-Johnson: I. The Mean Score Discrepancy Issue.

Woodcook, Richard W. – School Psychology Review, 1984
Twenty-one studies that reported mean score differences between the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Ability (WJTCA) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) Full Scale are summarized. The differences are found to be minimal and are attributed to data bias and WJTCA's higher correlation with achievement. (EGS)
