✦ Synopsis

Courdy Special Service Coop

The comparability of WISC and WISC-R IQ scores was studied in a sample of 48 mildly retarded and borderline chddren. All WISC-R and WISC IQ and subtest scores were found to be related significantly, but not directly comparable. General1 , the WISC-R yielded lower scores with the exce tions of the Performance 16 score and the PC, PA, and OA subtest scores. iubtest patterning on the WISC-R for this group was similar to previously reported data on the WISC. Caution was suggested in making direct comparisons of WISC and WISGR scores, a t least within the ability range studied.
