Description
| Summary: | "This volume centers around the theory, findings and applications of the author's Adult Intelligence Scales (Wechsler Bellevue Intelligence Scale [W-B I] and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale [WAIS]), but its scope as well as its content has been considerably extended from previous editions. Whatever has been retained from the older editions has been extensively rewritten, and five new chapters have been added. At the same time certain parts have been entirely omitted. The additions include chapters on the Factorial Composition of the W-B I and the WAIS, Changes in Intellectual Ability with Age, Sex Differences in Intelligence, Changes in Intelligence Consequent to Brain Damage and the Use of the W-B I and WAIS in Counseling and Guidance. The reader will find that the specific changes that have been made in the revised Adult Intelligence Scale (now called the WAIS) are amply discussed. I have also devoted some space in this volume to a comparative analysis of the 1939 and 1955 standardizations, and have included many data not previously published. I hope that these additional data on the WAIS which is rapidly replacing the W-B I, will be useful to the clinician as well as the researcher"--Preface.
