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.

Pearson Correlations

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.

The WISC—R Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs of 66 referred students and the Stanford-Binet IV Test Composite scores of a different sample of 48 referred students correlated significantly with the reading subtests of the Woodcock-Johnson Revised, Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, and the Peabody Individual Achievement Test—Revised. The WISC—R Full Scale IQ correlated similarly with each reading score. The Verbal IQ correlated significantly more strongly than the Performance IQ with the reading scores.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence

This preliminary study evaluated the concurrent validity of the Thurstone Test of Mental Alertness as a brief intelligence test using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Revised as the criterion of adult intellectual achievement. Analyses indicated that the Total score on Thurstone's test was significantly correlated with the standard summary scores as well as with the WAIS—R factor scores. On the Thurstone Test of Mental Alertness scores could accurately predict WAIS—R intelligence for this nonclinical sample of 32 undergraduates. The concurrent validity of the test as a brief intelligence test was inferred and the results were consistent with the range of correlations expected among all measures of global intellectual achievement. Reading comprehension was suggested as a principal factor attenuating the correlation between the two tests.

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised, Form L was compared with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised with a sample of 32 mild/moderate handicapped students (24 boys, 8 girls). Significant correlations were found between the WISC—R Full Scale IQ (.46) and the WISC—R Verbal IQ (.50) and the PPVT—R, but no significant correlation was found between the WISC—R Performance IQ and the PPVT—R (.34). Mean scores on the PPVT—R and WISC—R were significantly different.

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.

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.

Wide Range Achievement

Correlations between the WAIS-R Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs, WAIS-R subtest scaled scores, and Wide Range Achievement Test Reading, Spelling, and Arithmetic standard scores were computed for a sample of 60 patients at a V.A. medical center who were referred for routine psychological evaluation. The Full Scale IQ and Verbal IQ yielded large correlations with the three achievement area standard scores ( rs of .60 to .76). However, Performance IQs correlated moderately with reading and spelling scores ( rs of .41 and .42), but a larger correlation obtained with arithmetic scores ( r = .66). The results support the concurrent validity of the WAIS-R.
