The classic text--now updated with a new interpretive approach to
the WAIS(R)-III
Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence, the classic text
from Alan Kaufman and Elizabeth Lichtenberger, has consistently
provided the most comprehensive source of information on cognitive
assessment of adults and adolescents. The newly updated Third
Edition provides important enhancements and additions that
highlight the latest research and interpretive methods for the
WAIS(R)-III.
Augmenting the traditional "sequential" and "simultaneous"
WAIS(R)-III interpretive methods, the authors present a new
approach derived from Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory. This
approach combines normative assessment (performance relative to age
peers) with ipsative assessment (performance relative to the
person's own mean level). Following Flanagan and Kaufman's work to
develop a similar CHC approach for the WISC(R)-IV, Kaufman and
Lichtenberger have applied this system to the WAIS(R)-III profile
of scores along with integrating recent WAIS(R)-III literature.
Four appendices present the new method in depth. In addition to
a detailed description, the authors provide a blank interpretive
worksheet to help examiners make the calculations and decisions
needed for applying the additional steps of the new system, and
norms tables for the new WAIS(R)-III subtest combinations added in
this approach.
Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence remains the premier
resource for the field, covering not only the WAIS(R)-III but also
the WJ III(R), the KAIT, and several brief measures of
intelligence, as well as laying out a relevant, up-to-date
discussion of the discipline. The new, theory-based interpretive
approach forthe WAIS(R)-III makes this a vital resource for
practicing psychologists, as well as a comprehensive text for
graduate students.
