“…Compared to WISC IV, the fifth edition includes a revision of instructions for children's better comprehension of evaluating tasks and simplifies scoring criteria. Furthermore, both tests require trained evaluators with experience in child assessment and in the application of the test (Lace et al, 2020;Pearson Assessment, 2018).…”

Executive functions in children and adolescents with hearing loss: A systematic review of case-control, case series, and cross-sectional studies

Introduction. Children with hearing loss have been reported to perform lower in executive function and language tasks than their normal-hearing peers. Objective. To describe EF performance profile in children and adolescents with hearing loss. Method. Using different databases including PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect, we conducted a systematic review of case-control, cross-sectional studies, and case series that evaluated executive function performance in children and adolescents with hearing loss with or without hearing aids, cochlear implants, and/or native sign language, since 2000 until April 2020. Fifteen studies were selected after quality assessment using Critical Appraisal Tools provided by Joanna Briggs Institute. Results. The studies differed in the assessment tools, and the results obtained by different authors were inconsistent. However, these studies revealed that children and adolescents with hearing impairment have lower performance in working memory, inhibition, cognitive flexibility, and attention than their normal-hearing peers. Discussion and conclusion. Executive function assessment tools are used indistinctively for both children with and without hearing loss. Consequently, as tools were designed for normal hearing population, results can significantly vary in the population with hearing impairment. Hence, it is important to establish a standardized protocol specifically adapted for this population.

“…In contrast, our proposal covers these domains with Picture Span and Symbol Search subtests. Furthermore, in line with some authors' recommendation to develop and validate specific short-forms for the clinical population (Lace et al, 2020), the tetrad proposed in this study takes into account the particular developmental trajectory of this population.…”

“…Besides, this could provide better psychometric properties than general population short-forms, given that a specific short-form is more suitable for a clinical population. To date, only two studies have developed IQ estimation short-forms for the WISC-V (Aubry and Bourdin, 2018;Lace et al, 2020), neither of which targeted preterm children. Encouraged by this, the present study provides, for the first time, a specific and validated WISC-V short-form for estimating intellectual functioning in very preterm children.…”

“…Although several works have been conducted to develop WISC short-forms, most are proposed for the general population and may not be valid for specific clinical populations. For that reason, the scientific literature recommends validating short-forms in specific populations (Van Ool et al, 2018), as has been previously done by other authors in various neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, and neurodevelopmental disorders, among others (Donders et al, 2013;Hrabok et al, 2014;Lace et al, 2020).…”

A Validated WISC-V Short-Form to Estimate Intellectual Functioning in Very Preterm Children at Early School Age

et al. 2021

Very preterm children (gestational age < 32 weeks) frequently show neurodevelopmental difficulties (Inattention/dysexecutiveness) throughout their life-stages. A scarcity of resources, along with this population’s cognitive vulnerability, makes the neuropsychological evaluation of these children both complicated and time-consuming. This study aimed to develop a specific and valid Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V) short-form to estimate intellectual functioning in this population. Eighty-four very preterm children (39 female; mean age = 6.50; SD: 0.06) were assessed with the WISC-V. Short-forms were developed following two independent strategies: a) multiple linear regressions for each index; b) correlational analyses between scores on all administered subtests and Full-Scale IQ. Validity of short-forms was analyzed. A short-form (Vocabulary, Matrix Reasoning, Picture Span, and Symbol Search) that satisfied 2/3 validation criteria was proposed. This validated short-form could facilitate the identification of cognitive difficulties in very preterm children, so that they could benefit from early care and support services, avoiding long assessment procedures.

Objective Abbreviated and virtual neuropsychological assessment practices are growing in popularity and viable alternatives to traditional testing methods are needed, especially in the face of global health concerns. This study generated and examined short form (SF) full-scale IQ (FSIQ) estimations, which lend themselves to virtual test administration. Methods Archival data were procured from 318 concurrent cognitive evaluations at a university clinic. Twenty-six unique SF combinations, including dyads, triads, tetrads, and pentads, were created from Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, 4th edition (WAIS-IV) subtests within verbal comprehension and working memory indices due to these tests’ ability to be administered without visual stimuli or psychomotor involvement. Results Stepwise regression analyses revealed 9 SF combinations (i.e., 1 pentad, 3 tetrads, 2 triads, and 3 dyads) that significantly accounted for unique variance in FSIQ scores and provided good accuracy estimating FSIQ. Conclusion Results suggest the potential viability of verbal WAIS-IV SF FSIQ estimations for clinical use when assessing patients with motor or visual impairments, as well as performing tele-neuropsychological services.
