Comparability of WISC-R and WAIS-R Scores for a Sample of College Students with Learning Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Slate, John R.; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1990
Scores of 38 learning-disabled college students on the revised Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) were compared. Results indicated significant correlations between the tests, though subjects tended to obtain higher scores on the WISC-R than on the WAIS-R. (Author/DB)

Inglis, James; Lawson, J. S. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1987
Reanalysis of data derived from a meta-analysis of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, using a learning disability index derived from a principal-components analysis, found that the test discriminated reliably between 9,372 learning-disabled children and their non-disabled peers.

Blaha, John; Vance, Hubert – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1979
Among the findings was that the factor structure of learning disabled children on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised was somewhat more fractionated and complex than for normals, but not as complex as for reading disabled children. (Author/DLS)

Comparative Efficacy of K-ABC Subtests vs. WISC-R Subtests in the Differential Classification of Learning Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Glutting, Joseph J.; Bear, George G. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1989
The study evaluated the utility of Kaufman-Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) subtests in differentiating learning-disabled children from students with other handicapping conditions, and compared K-ABC subtests with Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised subtests. Results showed that subtest scores did not enhance differential…
