Riassunto

WAIS-IV is the most widely used intelligence test for adults in the world. Substantive changes were made to the WAIS-IV from the WAIS-III leaving clinicians with questions as to how to use and interpret the measure effectively. This guide to the WAIS IV is written to help clinical practitioners achieve efficient and accurate interpretations of test results. This guide is based on data obtained while standardizing the test, and hence provides the most authoritative information for interpreting results, diagnostic validity, demographically corrected norms, and accuracy of the tests in measuring intelligence and memory.

The book begins with practical information on administrating and scoring the test-information that is not otherwise covered by the test manual. The book discusses the four index scores contained in the WAIS-IV, using the WAIS-IV with the WMS-IV, and understanding use of the WAIS-IV for special populations; such as those with neuropsychological issues, psychopathology, or older populations with dementia, and culturally diverse clients.
