OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the cognitive profiles of children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with the Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV), the latter of which was recently standardized in Turkey. In addition, the reading abilities and intelligence scores of thes...

The Tower of Hanoi is a tool used to evaluate executive functions. However, few studies describe what functions are evaluated in this test. This study investigates the executive functions, evaluated by the Tower of Hanoi (ToH), and the influence of gender, age and its relationship with intelligence. We evaluated 55 children and adolescents, between the ages of ten and 16, without diagnosed neur...

Irish educational psychologists frequently use the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children– Fourth U.K. Edition (WISC–IV) in clinical assessments of children with learning difficulties. Unfortunately, reliability and validity studies of the WISC–IV have not yet been reported. This study examined the construct validity of WISC–IV core subtest scores obtained from evaluations to assess learning ...

THE Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children has grown logically out of the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scales used with adolescents and adults [4]. In fact, most of the items in the WISC are from Form II of the earlier scales, the main additions being new items at the easier end of each test to permit examination of children as young as five years of age. Even though the materials overlap, ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of the WISC-III (Wechsler, 1991) Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) scores in predicting later academic achievement given significant variability among any of the four WISC-III factor scores. Taken from an archival data set, the sample was composed of 6- to 13-year-old students who were twice evaluated for special education eligibility over approximat...

UNLABELLED Iron deficiency anemia during adolescence may reduce physical work capacity and cognitive function. OBJECTIVES To assess the physical work capacity and cognition of underprivileged anemic schoolgirls in Vadodara in early adolescence as compared to their non-anemic counterparts. DESIGN Prior to initiating anemia control interventions, schoolgirls in early adolescence were studied ...

The WISC-IV was used to compare the intellectual profile of two groups of children, one with specific learning disorders (SLDs), the other with intellectual disabilities (ID), with a view to identifying which of the four main factor indexes and two additional indexes can distinguish between the groups. We collected information on WISC-IV scores for 267 children (Mage=10.61 [SD=2.51], range 6-16...

PURPOSE The purpose of this article was to investigate the accuracy of the WISC-IV short forms in estimating Full Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) and General Ability Index (GAI) in pediatric epilepsy. METHODS One hundred and four children with epilepsy completed the WISC-IV as part of a neuropsychological assessment at a tertiary-level children's hospital. The clinical accuracy of eight sh...

OBJECTIVE Recent evidence suggests that the factor structure of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) is better explained by a five-factor model rather than the four-factor model in the standardization sample. The current study examined the WISC-IV's factor structure in a sample of children with ADHD. METHOD Participants included 314 children and adolescents wh...
