Incremental efficacy of WISC-III factor scores in predicting achievement: What doe they tell us?
Article Abstract:
The Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III) is a common psychological measure used for children and adolscents. A study looked at the incremental validity of factor scores from the WISC-III in predicting achievement on the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT). The factors were found to provide a stastically significant increment, and the Full Scale IQ was found to be the best predictor of achievement criteria measured by the WIAT.
