✦ Synopsis

This study corroborates earlier findings that the WISC-R and WAIS-R cannot be regarded as equivalent testing instruments. Replication of the authors' previous data showing that the WAIS-R yields consistently higher scores for intellectually subaverage subjects provides further evidence that this testing artifact must be taken into account in interpreting differences in scores on the two tests.
