WAIS-IV
What are the different indices for WAIS-IV?
Verbal Comprehension
Perceptual Reasoning
Working Memory
Processing Speed
FSIQ
What is the GAI?
An estimate of general intellectual ability that is less reliant on working memory and processing speed than the FSIQ
Why are updated norms important for WAIS-5?
Due to the Flynn Effect. There is a ~3 point increase in FSIQ every 10 years. The WAIS-IV was published in 2008.
Normative sample collected in 2023-2024.
Also, reflect societal shifts and trends (such as demographics)
True or false
Acculturation does not matter as it relates to intellectual assessment or writing the report.
False
What does it mean when an FSIQ is interpretable?
The size of the difference between the highest and lowest indexes does not equal or exceed 1.5 SD (23 points).
What qualitative descriptor would you give for a score of 101 on the WAIS-V?
Average
What is the CPI?
An estimate of the efficiency with which information is processed in the service of learning, problem solving, and higher-order reasoning
What are new primary index scales on the WAIS-5?
Visual-Spatial Index
Fluid Reasoning Index
True or false
Intelligence scores have been found to be significantly related to school achievement in several studies.
True;(~ r=.52)
What does the summary of your report include?
First paragraph: Demographics and background
Second paragraph: Summary of the test results. What themes do you see?

-Specify normative and personal strengths and weaknesses
What are the classification categories of the WAIS? (Refer to the bell curve)
Extremely low, borderline, low average, average, high average, superior, very superior
What are base rates?
Determining the frequency with which the difference between scores occurred in the normative sample.
What subtests are we saying "farewell" to on the WAIS-5?
Picture Completion
Cancellation
True or False:
As it relates to the WISC; culture and intelligence are interlinked
True
What should you consider when focusing on feedback?
What is most important to share
What are the alternatives in interpretation, when the FSIQ is not valid?
GAI; if GAI is not reliable and valid, move on to CPI

Treatment and recommendations should include what concepts?
Discuss the implications of the findings for client care, follow-up, and treatment
Prognosis
Implications for quality of everyday functioning.
When administrating the WAIS, what are somethings to consider as your progress through subtests?
