WAIS chapters Flashcards
The wais-4 provides three types of scores: R___ scores; S_____ scores; __-index scores
Raw; Scaled; Index
The _____ score is simply the first obtained score and is the sum of points earned on a specific subtest
raw
IQ and factor scores have a mean of ___ and SD of ___
100; 15
The subtest scaled scores have a mean of ____ and SD of ___
10; 3
To determine an examinee’s scaled scores, you will need: (1) the individual’s chronological ___; (2) his or her subtest ___ scores from the record form; (3) Table A._ on the WAIS-IV administration and scoring manual
age; raw; A.1
The difficulty of a raw score of _ is that the score does not indicate the examinee’s true ability; rather it indicates that the examinee’s ability cannot be determined on this particular subtest

The rule of thumb for a unusual base rate is < __%

Like the IQ and index scores from the WAIS-IV, the WMS-IV index scores have a mean of ___ and standard deviation of __.
100; 15
The WMS-IV primary subtest SSs are scaled on a metric of a mean of __ and a standard deviation of _

The WMS includes 7 sub-tests of which _ are primary and used to derive index scores. _ is optional:
6; 1
(WMS) C_____ S_____ Scores
- Designed to allow you to compare a higher level cognitive function to a lower level cognition function or to differentiate between oral vs visual presentations (for example)
Contrast Scaled Scores
