BACKGROUND Studies from other countries indicate that occupational skills training can improve the social functioning and the quality of life of patients with schizophrenia but there is little research about the relationship of occupational skills and the functional status of patients in China. AIM Use a translated Chinese version of the Comprehensive Occupational Therapy Evaluation scale to ...

The present study was an attempt to examine the relationship between the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R; Wechsler, 1987) and the Memory Assessment Scale (MAS; Williams, 1991). The sample consisted of 51 patients referred for neuropsychological examination. Average age was 55.29 (SD = 20.94). Average education was 11.94 years (SD = 3.18). Average Full Scale IQ was 94.75 (SD = 15.44). The r...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between EEG phase reset and performance on the Wechsler Intelligence test. METHODS The electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded from 19 scalp locations from 378 subjects ranging in age from 5 years to 17.6 years.

In the widely used Corsi Block Test and Wechsler Spatial Span Tests, participants must reproduce sequences of blocks in the order touched by the examiner until two trials are missed at the same sequence length. The examiner records either the maximum number of blocks correctly reported or the total number of correct lists. Here, we describe a computerized spatial span test (C-SST) that uses psy...

Factor analysis for responses to the WAIS-R by 1,630 adults of the Italian standardization sample produced two factor solutions in different age groups, and showed high factorial similarity when compared with the same American solution. An estimate of g factor and variance components showed some difference with American data: a lower proportion of g and common variance, and a greater specificit...

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...
