Test Review: Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition (WISC-IV)

RETRACTED: The effect of intellectual disability on the presence of comorbid symptoms in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder

“…The WISC-IV is a standardized measure of intelligence with a normative age range of 6 years 0 months to 16 years 11 months (Kaufman, Flanagan, Alfonso, & Mascolo, 2006;Wechsler, 2003). The WISC-IV takes from 60 to 90 min to administer depending on the individuals age and level of intellectual functioning.…”

The effects of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Fourth Edition cognitive abilities on math achievement

“…Although the Wechsler intelligence tests have never been developed using a CHC framework (Kaufman, Flanagan, Alfonso, & Mascolo, 2006), researchers have subsequently conceptualized the instruments from a CHC standpoint (Flanagan, McGrew, & Ortiz, 2000;Keith & Reynolds, 2010). For example, Flanagan (2000) combined subtests from the revised edition of the WISC (WISC-R; Wechsler, 1974) and the WJ-R (Woodcock & Johnson, 1989) to fit the CHC model.…”

“…One of the WISC-IV subtests is Arithmetic, a subtest carried over from previous editions of the WISC (Kaufman et al, 2006). Keith et al (2006) classified the subtest as a measure of Fluid Reasoning, and the WISC-IV interpretive guidelines (Wechsler, 2003a) includes it as a measure of Working Memory (a narrow ability associated with the CHC ability Short-Term Memory; Newton & McGrew, 2010).…”

“…Its subtests were created and combined to maximize construct-relevant variance associated with the Stratum II CHC factor the instrument measures. The WISC-IV, on the other hand, was designed to measure the four Wechsler factors (Kaufman et al, 2006). Thus, although a CHC model fits the WISC-IV data well, the subtests were not designed to measure the CHC abilities specifically.…”

Avaliação da associação entre obesidade e transtorno de déficit de atenção/hiperatividade em crianças e adolescentes

“…(WISC-IV)" [120] Sabe-se que indivíduos com TDAH apresentam desempenho prejudicado principalmente nos subtestes: dígitos, códigos, sequência de números e letras, procurar símbolos, completar figuras, informação e aritmética. [121] Sendo assim, a aplicação do WISC-IV nestes indivíduos teve como objetivo avaliar o perfil cognitivo (a fim de se afastar déficit cognitivo, que poderia ser um diagnóstico diferencial para sintomas de desatenção) assim como o desempenho nas provas que exigem maior foco de atenção em relação ao desempenho global na escala.…”
