Clinical Interpretation of the WAIS-III and WMS-III
Description:
This guide to the WAIS-III and WMS-III tests is written to help clinical practitioners achieve efficient and
accurate interpretations of test results. The only interpretive guide to be based on data obtained while
standardizing the tests, this reference source provides new models for interpreting results, as well as
practical information on the diagnostic validity, demographically corrected norms, and accuracy of the tests
in measuring intelligence and memory.
The focus of information is to allow clinicians to reduce variance in the interpretations of scores, indicating
how best to factor in socio-economic status of respondents, interpreting meaningful change in serial
assessments, and scoring with alternate or omitted sub-tests. Also included in the book are chapters on
accommodating clients with disabilities. The final chapter discusses frequently asked questions (with
answers) on the use and interpretation of the tests, as well as practical issues to help make scoring timeefficient and accurate.
