“…Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III)-The WISC-III (Wechsler, 1991) is a standardized measure of intellectual functioning appropriate for individual administration to children ages 6 to 16 years. The WISC-III was standardized on a nationally representative sample of 2,200 children.…”

“…Based on these results, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status were included as covariates in the data analysis. As the WISC-III standard scores are based on age norms (Wechsler, 1991), age was not included as a covariate.…”

“…Likewise, Silva and colleagues (2000) reported that higher Wechsler Intelligence Scale for ChildrenRevised (WISC-R; Wechsler, 1974) IQ, as measured by the Information, Vocabulary, and Digit Span subtests (Silva, personal communication, 2005), was associated with lower PTSD prevalence among treatment-seeking urban youth. Jenkins, Lang-lais, Delis, and Cohen (2000) also observed that the WAIS-R Digit Span and Digit Symbol scores of rape victims with PTSD were significantly lower than the scores of victims that did not develop the disorder.…”

“…In addressing these questions, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III (WISC-III; Wechsler, 1991) scores of traumatized youth with or without PTSD were compared to the scores of a nontraumatized comparison group. As lower intellectual performance has been associated with major depressive disorder (MDD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), conduct disorder, substance dependence, and psychotic disorders (Brown, Tapert, Granholm, & Delis, 2000;Hodges & Plow, 1990;Kalska, Punamaki, Makinen-Pelli, & Saarinen, 1999;Nelson & Israel, 2003), participants with these disorders were excluded from the study.…”

This study compared the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III (WISC-III) scores of traumatized youth with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to the scores of trauma-exposed and nonexposed comparison groups without PTSD. All groups were free of additional major childhood psychiatric disorders. The PTSD group scored significantly lower than the comparison groups on verbal subtests, but not on performance subtests. The scores of the trauma-exposed PTSD negatives and nontrauma exposed controls were not significantly different. Accordingly, PTSD and not a history of trauma exposure in the absence of PTSD was associated with lower verbal IQ.

“…If such an underlying factor would have explained performance on both tasks, then superior performance on one task would have been a predictor of superior performance on the other task. For example, short term memorisation of word lists recruits working memory, which is often regarded as a general predictor of intelligence ( Oberauer et al , 2005; Oberauer et al , 2008) and likewise the categorisation tests used here are typical components of standardised intelligence tests ( Wechsler, 2004; Wechsler, 2008). Thus one might have predicted a positive correlation of error scores in both tasks if an underlying single factor such as intelligence would explain the data.…”

False memory susceptibility is correlated with categorisation ability in humans

Our memory is often surprisingly inaccurate, with errors ranging from misremembering minor details of events to generating illusory memories of entire episodes. The pervasiveness of such false memories generates a puzzle: in the face of selection pressure for accuracy of memory, how could such systematic failures have persisted over evolutionary time? It is possible that memory errors are an inevitable by-product of our adaptive memories and that semantic false memories are specifically connected to our ability to learn rules and concepts and to classify objects by category memberships. Here we test this possibility using a standard experimental false memory paradigm and inter-individual variation in verbal categorisation ability. Indeed it turns out that the error scores are significantly negatively correlated, with those individuals scoring fewer errors on the categorisation test being more susceptible to false memory intrusions in a free recall test. A similar trend, though not significant, was observed between individual categorisation ability and false memory susceptibility in a word recognition task. Our results therefore indicate that false memories, to some extent, might be a by-product of our ability to learn rules, categories and concepts.

A utism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired reciprocal social interaction, impaired communication, and restricted, repetitive, or stereotyped behaviors. Autism seems to affect more children than was previously believed, although this phenomenon may be due to broadening of the diagnostic criteria and increased awareness of the condition. Recent research has clearly indicated the importance of early identification, since early intensive treatment is associated with better long-term outcome. There are many controversies and competing theories about the etiology and treatment of autism, often leaving families confused about the best course of treatment and intervention. Pediatric primary health care clinicians have an important role in both the early identification and ongoing management of children with autism. It is, therefore, essential that primary care clinicians have up-todate information about the science of autism.
