Measurable biological substrates to verbal-performance differences in Wechsler scores.

Abstract: The use of intelligence tests and the interpretation of verbal-performance differences has been criticized as not being useful in the classification, treatment planning, or placement of children. As a result, some professionals have suggested that intelligence testing does not provide useful theoretical or clinical information. The purpose of this article is to provide a general review and discussion of studies relating to hemispheric asymmetry, particularly asymmetry of the planum temporale in normal and read… Show more

“…Idiographic interpretation at the Index score level appears particularly robust for children with LD and ADHD, as these scores are generally reliable and stable (e.g., Flanagan & Kaufman, 2004), and provided significant and substantial portions of FSIQ variance in this study. Other clusters may be worth exploring to generate hypotheses regarding cognitive strengths and weaknesses as part of a complete clinical evaluation that can confirm or refute them (e.g., Hale & Fiorello, 2004)-most notably the VC-PR cluster, a measure of general reasoning or higher level intellectual processes, and the verbal (VC-WM) and nonverbal (PR-PS) clusters, which could have implications for lateralization of function (Riccio & Hynd, 2000). Several less common associations among clusters that cross stimulus-response modalities may reflect underlying neuropsychological processes that are more consistent with our current understanding of hemispheric functions (e.g., Bryan & Hale, 2001;Goldberg, 2001).…”

“…The discrepancy between Verbal IQ (VIQ) and Performance IQ (PIQ) in LD samples has been analysed in a large number of studies (e.g. Daley & Nagle, ; Riccio & Hynd, ; Rotsika et al ., ; Rourke, ; Slate, ). Although some studies have suggested that a significant VIQ‐PIQ difference may be an important indicator of LD (Riccio & Hynd, ; Rourke, ), others did not find VIQ‐PIQ differences to be useful in differentiating children with LDs from other groups of children (Humphries & Bone, ; Kavale & Forness, ).…”

“…Nonetheless, some studies have demonstrated a relationship between brain structure and intelligence [45][46][47] . As IQ may play a role in brain morphology, a discrepancy definition, which includes IQ, was used.…”
