This study focused on the relationship between the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised (WISC—R) and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) given to 40 6-yr.-old Iranian children. Pearson correlations between the WISC—R and the WPPSI IQs and between scaled scores on the corresponding subtests were significant. The comparison of mean IQs and scaled scores indicates that the WISC—R yielded a significantly higher Verbal IQ and higher scores on Information, Vocabulary, Comprehension, and Picture Completion than the WPPSI. The mean difference between corresponding Verbal and Full Scale IQs was not significant. These results suggest that scores on the two instruments correlated well for these 6-yr.-old Iranian children and the content on which IQs for the recently restandardized WISC—R and WPPSI are based are related.

Preliminary Study

The concurrent validity of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Third Edition (WISC–III) and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition was investigated using a sample of 40 nonreferred children. There were significant correlations between the WISC-III Full Scale IQ, Verbal IQ, Performance IQ, and Composite (.817, .789, .609) and Area Scores (.357 to .763) of the Stanford-Binet–IV. There were no significant differences between the mean WISC–III and Stanford-Binet–IV scores. Despite differences in content, format, and administration, both tests yielded comparable results.

The Relationship

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between BMI and tooth decay in a population of Iranian children. In this cross-sectional descriptive/analytical study, 1482 children were selected from kindergartens and preschool centers in Kerman, Iran. The children underwent examination of deciduous teeth (using the dmft index) after determination of height and weight for calculation of BMI. The relationship between BMI (after adjustment for age) and dmft was determined using Poisson’s regression model. The mean of dmft in children with normal BMI was 1.5-fold that in subjects with extra body weight. Age had a significant effect on dmft. In addition, dmft was higher in boys compared to girls. The results of the present study showed that caries rate in the deciduous teeth of 3–6-year-old children decreases with an increase in body weight.

Selection Of

The relationship between the McCarthy General Cognitive Index and the WISC-R Full Scale IQ was examined for 20 educable mentally retarded, 20 learning disabled, and 20 normal children aged 6 to 8½ yr. Selection of children was conducted so that the three groups would be comparable with res pea to age, sex, and race. The mean McCarthy Indexes for the retarded and learning disabled samples were significantly lower than the mean WISC-R Full Scale IQs. When the Index and Full Scale IQ were converted to a common metric and compared, the mean index for the retarded and learning disabled samples remained lower than the Full Scale IQs, although the differences were nonsignificant. The measures correlated significantly for all three samples and ranged from .51 to .82.

Mood states have been shown to be sensitive to periods of overtraining among endurance athletes. To examine the relationship between training volume and specific mood states, the Profile of Mood States was administered biweekly to 12 male and 17 female collegiate swimmers over the course of a competitive season. Pearson correlations were estimates of the relationship between mean subscores and training volume. Mean training volume for the comparison periods ranged from 3,868 to 12,500 meters/day. Mean ratings of both Anger and Vigor were significantly negatively correlated with training volume (−.58 and −.54, respectively). In addition, Fatigue was significantly correlated with training volume ( r = .53), but the mean subscores for Tension, Depression, Confusion, and Global Mood were not significantly correlated with training volume. Results support previous research reporting mood disturbances with increased training volumes but do not support suggestions of an increased tendency towards higher scores on depression.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To assess the cognitive functions before radiotherapy in pediatric patients with brain tumors and explore the related influence factors. METHODS Before radiotherapy for brain tumors, adaptive behavior scale (adaptive quotient) and Wechsler intelligence scale for children were used to evaluate the cognitive functions in pediatric patients. Herein the assessment items of verbal IQ, performance IQ, total score and the corresponding percentile. The cognitive functions of pediatric patients with different pathological diagnoses, lesion locations, with or without epilepsy, hydrocephalus or hypopituitarism were compared. RESULTS A total of 128 pediatric patients were enrolled in this study. The mean verbal IQ score was 83.7±20.8 (range, 36–128), and the corresponding percentile mean value was 27.699±30.3. The mean performance IQ score was 82.83±20.5 (range, 30–126), and the corresponding percentile mean value was 26.6±29.1. The total score of Wechsler intelligence scale was 0–128, with a mean value of 81.4±21.7, and the corresponding percentile was 0–97, with a mean value of 25.5±28.5. Moreover, the adaptive quotient for all enrolled patients was 32–164, with a mean value of 95.1±29.4. The results of multivariate analysis on the clinical factors related to cognitive functions revealed that the mean performance IQ, the corresponding percentile and the mean of the total score of Wechsler intelligence scale in patients with lesions involving basal ganglia region were 76±16, 15.1±19.6 and 75.29±15, respectively, which were lower than 84±20.7, 28±19.1 and 82.4±22 in those with lesion without involving basal ganglia region, with statistical differences (P= 0.031, 0.018, 0.046). CONCLUSION The cognitive functions before radiotherapy in pediatric patients with brain tumors are proved to be inferior to those in normal children. The performance IQ and total score of pediatric patients with brain tumors involving basal ganglia region were lower than those of the other patients for the lesions have affected the limb movement.

The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of the experimental version of the Spanish translation of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised (WISC—R; EIWN-R) with a group of children in elementary school in Puerto Rico. The test was administered to a group of 51 subjects in grades 4 and 5. A summary of the items showed that in all the subtests the items were generally ordered from less to most difficult. Correlations between all subtests and the Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale scaled scores ranged between .20 for Arithmetic and Picture Completion to .94 between the Verbal and Full Scales. Alpha coefficients of reliability ranged from .53 for Arithmetic to .80 for Vocabulary. Test-retest correlations for Coding and Digit Span were .70 and .78, respectively.

Fluid And Crystallized Intelligence

This study investigates Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQ change in an institutionalized mentally retarded population. 402 individuals who had received two routine administrations of either the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children or the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and who ranged in age from 11 to 44 were included as subjects. They were divided into six groups (two WISC and four WAIS) and changes in scores were studied using a semi-longitudinal methodology. Contrary to the dominant view suggested by previous research, Full Scale IQ did not decrease with age. There were, in fact, slight increments, larger and more consistent in Performance than Verbal IQ. This differential change is discussed in terms of the Horn-Cattell theory of “fluid” and “crystallized” intelligence.

Pearson Correlations

Previous studies have indicated that scores on the Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration correlate higher with Performance than Verbal and Full Scale IQs of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. WISC–III and Visual Motor Integration—3R scores from 99 boys and 46 girls ranging in age from 6 to 16 years were obtained by certified school psychologists to study the relationship between the two measures. Participants were drawn from six suburban Chicago school districts, two being very affluent. These Pearson correlations for standard scores ranging from .34 to .57 and following previous research, were ranked from highest to lowest and then transformed into an approximately normal Z statistic using Fisher Z. The highest correlation was compared to the next highest and so on, which yielded significant differences. Only four comparisons had to be made.
