Title
Investigation of the WISC-III and WASI in clinical child populations : a framework for further exploration
To promote efficient clinical practice, interest has been growing in brief assessment scales to replace full-scale versions in some circumstances. In nonclinical populations, the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) has substituted for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Third Edition (WISC-III). Agreement between these scales remains untested in clinical populations. Twenty-five children, aged 6 to 15 years old were assessed. A correlational and within-participant design was used. These scales were significantly correlated. Despite a fourth edition of the WISC now available, WASI administration alone would at times appear to be a quick and valid estimate of IQ. Replication with the WISC-IV seems necessary to clarify the verbal/ performance distance criterion discrepancy and also the meaning of some variability between the scale and subtests.
