Q
Weschlers overview
A
Predictors of both academic and functioning in occupation
Best for making short term predictions
Assessing strengths and weaknesses
Mean score 100
Standard deviation 15
Bell curve
9
Q
FSIQ and GAI
A
FSIQ: Less important when difference between index scores are 23 or higher
GAI:
- WAIS: verbal comprehension and perceptual reasoning
- WISC: verbal, visual and fluid reasoning
Eliminate working memory and processing speed as they are most sensitive
Calculating difference between FSIQ and GAI - determine brain, age, situation sensitive subtest could be lowering performance
10
Q
Weschlers stages of analysis
A
Level 1: FSIQ, percentile rank, classification
Level 2: index scores, cluster groupings
Level 3: substest variability
Level 4: qualitative/ process analysis
Level 5: analyse intrasubtest variability
11
Q
Weschlers level 2 interpetation
A
Indexes only be interpreted when there is less than 5 point subscale difference within the index.
If difference higher than this - DO NOT interpret, but investigate - look at other combinations of subtests
Strengths and weaknesses
Anything falling outside range - causing impairment
Significant difference between indexes
12
Q
Weschlers clusters
A
Fluid reasoning: matrix reasoning + figure weights
Visual processing: blocks designs + visual puzzles
Verbal reasoning: similarities + comprehension
Lexical knowledge: vocab + similarities
General information: comprehension + information
Long term memory: vocabulary + information
Short term memory: letter number sequencing + digit span
Visual motor speed: block design, symbol search
Problem solving without visual motor speed: matrix reasoning, visual puzzle, picture completion, figure weights
Non verbal fluid reasoning: matrix reasoning, picture concepts
Quantitative reasoning: figure weights, arithmetic

13
Q

14
Q
Weschlers qualitative analysis
A
High/ low scores?
Unusual responses?
15
Q
Weschlers intrasubtest variablity
