PURPOSE Delayed treatment of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a common cause of mental retardation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate intellectual outcomes in preschool children with treated CH. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 43 children (age range: 13 to 60 days of life; 22 girls and 21 boys) diagnosed with CH. Children aged 5 to 7 years were examined...

OBJECTIVE The present study evaluated the reliability and concurrent validity of the new Tanaka B Intelligence Scale, which is an intelligence test that can be administered on groups within a short period of time. METHODS The new Tanaka B Intelligence Scale and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition were administered to 81 subjects (mean age ± SD 15.2 ± 0.7 years) residing in ...

Using a procedure that eliminated repetition of identical items, thus avoiding order effects, we administered the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and the WAis-Revised to 108 subjects. AH correlations between the two tests were significant and similar to those reported in the WAISR manual. For the group as a whole, verbal, performance, and full scale IQ scores on the WAIS-R were signifi...

Background. The purpose of our research was to investigate the intellec tual and cognitive functions of premature babies at ten years of age. Material and methods. 35 children (15 preterm and 20 born at term) and their parents participated in the study. We used the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and a questionnaire containing demographic data and medical parameters. R...

PARTICIPANTS Children with CP (N=662; 281 girls, 381 boys; age range, 3-14y). INTERVENTIONS Not applicable.

AIM Mildly depressed IQ is common in treated phenylketonuria. This study explored whether a particular intellectual ability profile typifies early and continuously treated phenylketonuria and whether component skills comprising the IQ relate to socioeconomic and treatment factors. METHODS IQ scores were collected retrospectively from variants of the "Wechsler intelligence scale for children" ...

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V; Wechsler, 2014 ) provides a general intelligence score, representing g, and five index scores, reflecting underlying broad factors. Within person differences between the overall performance across subtests denoted as difference are often used to examine profiles of strengths weaknesses. In this study, validity such was examined...

Maximum likelihood confirmatory factor analysis was applied to the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III; Wechsler, 1991) data of a mixed clinical sample of 318 children. Analyses were designed to determine which of nine hypothesized oblique factor solutions could best explain intelligence as measured by the WISC-III in the clinical sample. Competing latent variable m...
