Description
Summary:A REACTION TO THE EXTENSIVE LITERATURE ON NEW WECHSLER SUBTEST COMBINATIONS (E.G., SHORT FORMS AND FACTOR SCALES). ANY NEW WECHSLER COMPOSITE RAISES ELEMENTARY ISSUES OF RELIABILITY, VALIDITY, AND SCORE STANDARDIZATION. IT IS ARGUED THAT IN THE PAST, THESE ISSUES HAVE NOT BEEN DEALT WITH IN A SATISFACTORY MANNER. RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY FORMULAS, APPROPRIATE FOR WECHSLER COMPOSITES, ARE PRESENTED. A MODIFIED PART-WHOLE CORRELATION FORMULA IS OFFERED FOR USE IN CASES OF NONINDEPENDENT TEST ADMINISTRATION OF PART AND WHOLE. IN ORDER TO FACILITATE APPROPRIATE CLINICAL USE, CONVERSION TABLES ARE PRESENTED FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF COMPOSITE SCORES, INCLUDING FACTOR SCORES, INTO, WECHSLER DEVIATION QUOTIENTS. (31 REF.)
