WAIS-IV Test A

2

Removal of the VIQ and PIQ was the major structural change implemented from the WAIS-III to the WAIS-IV

2

Which subtest is NOT new to the WAIS-IV?

2

The results of confirmatory factor analysis that supported a Five-Factor CHC model showed three WAIS-IV subtests to load highly on the fluid reasoning (Gf) factor. These subtests are Figure Weights, Matrix Reasoning, and

2

In establishing rapport with the examinee during the administration of the WAIS-IV, you may tell him or her:

2

When applying the reverse rule, you must

2

If you are administering a subtest with subjective scoring and are unsure of what score an examinee's response should get, it is best to take a few minutes to carefully review that item's scoring rules and tell the examinee to wait quietly.

2

Which subtests require the use of a stopwatch?

2

You may repeat questions or instructions only on Verbal Comprehension subtests and never on Perceptual Reasoning subtests.

2

Like earlier editions of Wechsler's adult tests, the WAIS-IV scaled scores are determined by comparing an individual's performance to that of the reference group of adults ages 20-34.

2

If Digit Span is a spoiled subtest, which of the following subtests can replace it?

2

Which one of the following scales is NOT safe to prorate?

2

Of the WAIS-IV process tasks, which ones yield a Scaled Score in addition to the Raw Score?

2

All of the following are principles of the intelligent testing philosophy EXCEPT:

2

Which WAIS-IV subtest is affected by a person's visual-perceptual problems and also has a long research history as being especially vulnerable to brain damage?

2

Which WAIS-IV subtest (apart from Arithmetic) is most likely to be viewed as a math-like test by examinees who are "mathematically minded" or who are skilled in the concepts of algebra?

2

If the FSIQ is not interpretable,

2

Alex obtained a PRI of 79, which is significantly lower than his other indexes and is uncommon in the normal population. Alex's PRI is best described as a

2

The interpretive validity and the reliability of the assessment process are increased by illuminating the unexplained sources of variability in performance taht may be inferred from careful clinical observations of how examinees are using cognitive capacities.

2

A child with a learning disability in the area of reading may have deficits in which of the following areas?

2

The biggest threats to the conclusions that can be drawn from longitudinal studies of aging and intelligence are progressive error (the effects of practice) and

2

Research studies on elderly samples have consistently shown that if time limits are removed on Wechsler's Performance subtests, then elderly adults improve their scores significantly on virtually all subtests.

2

Although a percentage of the clinical samples that had ADHD or major depression were on medication during the assessment of the WAIS-IV, it is not important to consider that factor in interpreting the results of these clinical group studies.

2

Individuals who are gifted would likely perform the best on which of the following subtests?

2

Except for the reading disorder group and the autistic disorder groups, all other clinical groups displayed a VCI > PRI pattern.

2

No Working Memory subtest was among the top three scaled scores for any clinical sample, except for which one of the clinical samples?
