It was found that verbal performance, indicated by a vocabulary score, was highly predictable from measures of information processing. While preserving…

Although a verbal intelligence test is directly a measure of what people know, it is indirectly a way of identifying people who can code and manipulate verbal stimuli rapidly in situations in which knowledge per se is not a major factor. (Author/BJG)

So as to compare the results of the WISC and WISC-R, instruments were administered to 58 children. All IQs were significantly higher on the WISC, with the Performance difference being greater than the verbal difference. Regression equations were obtained to predict WISC-R IQs from WISC scores.

The procedures were: oral only; look-listen; and silent reading. Results and their significance are discussed.…
