An Investigation of the Relationship Between the Bender-Gestalt, Draw-a-Man, and Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence by G. Edward Allen, Jr., Master of Science Utah State University, 1969 Major Professor: Glendon Casto Department: Psychology v This study investigated the relationship between the Bender-Gestalt, Draw-a-Man, and the Wexler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intellige...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) modulates excitability of motor cortex. However, there is conflicting evidence about the efficacy of this non-invasive brain stimulation modality to modulate performance on cognitive tasks. Previous work has tested the effect of tDCS on specific facets of cognition and executive processing. However, no randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled stud...

ed for this study. The WISC is a standardized test of assessment designed for children age seven to 16. It is divided into fifteen subtests that form a total of five composite scores, including a FSIQ which represents overall cognitive ability, VCI, PRI, PSI and WMI. Reliability coefficients for the WISC-IV composite scales were obtained on a sample of 661 children from 16 special and clinical ...

The present study describes the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) full scale IQ (FIQ) of admissions to one UK High Secure Psychiatric Care hospital. WAIS IV comparative data and FIQ from 1960s 2010s are presented (n = 639). Results suggest 75% current have FIQs within ‘low average’ ‘extremely low’ classifications, with significant discrepancies between composite scales being common proce...

introduction : shared neuropathology hypothesis in schizophrenia and temporal lobe epilepsy has been introduced long term ago. similar neuropathology leads to the analogous clinical features like neuropsychological features as an example. the aim of this study was to examine this hypothesis by the means of comparing neuropsychological functions in these two patient groups. method : present stud...

nystagmus, dislocation of the left lens in the vitreous humour, and multiple retinal atrophic lesions were also found. An IQ of 49 was found on the Wechsler adult intelligence scale.4 The neurological clinical examination showed cerebellar ataxia with limb and truncal ataxia and ataxic gait; also in this patient, mild hypertonia of the lower limbs, brisk tendon reflexes, and Babinski's sign on ...

There have been a number of studies that have examined the factor structure of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale IV (WAIS-IV) using the standardization sample. In this study, we investigate its factor structure on a clinical neuropsychology sample of mixed aetiology. Correlated factor, higher-order and bi-factor models are all tested. Overall, the results suggest that the WAIS-IV will be su...
