Study Notes
WISC-V Cognitive Processes Assessed
- Verbal Comprehension (ICV): Includes Analogies (ANA), Vocabulary (VOC), Information (INF), and Comprehension (COM).
- Working Memory (IMT): Evaluated through Digit Span (RD), Visual Image Retention (RI), and Letter-Number Sequencing (SLN).
- Visuospatial (IVE): Assessed via Block Design (CC) and Visual Puzzles (RV).
- Fluid Reasoning (IRF): Measured by Arithmetic (ARI), Balance (BAL), and Matrix Reasoning (MT).
- Processing Speed (IVP): Includes Cancellation (CAN), Symbol Search (BS), and Coding (CLA).
Executive Functions Definition
- Cognitive processes regulating and controlling other cognitive activities such as planning, working memory, attention, problem-solving, verbal reasoning, inhibition, mental flexibility, task-shifting, initiation, and action monitoring.
- Described as a set of cognitive skills necessary for planning, organizing, directing, regulating, and evaluating behavior to achieve goals.
Measurement Levels in WISC-V
- Assessments cover three levels: main indices, secondary indices, and specific tests.
Specific Tests in WISC-V
- Core Tests: Seven tests including Analogies (ANA), Block Design (CC), Matrix Reasoning (MR), Digit Span (RD), Coding (CLA), Vocabulary (VOC), and Balance (BAL).
- Main Indices Tests: Three tests: Symbol Search (BS), Visual Image Retention (RI), and Visual Puzzles (RV).
- Secondary Indices Tests: Two tests: Letter-Number Sequencing (SLN) and Arithmetic (ARI).
Testing Procedures and Guidelines
- Starting Point: Tests are initiated based on age; individuals suspected of intellectual disability start with item 1, except for Coding and Symbol Search.
- Reverse Sequencing: Used to identify the difficulty item; if consecutive two perfect scores are not achieved, prior items are administered in reverse until two consecutive perfect scores are attained.
- Suspension Criterion: A procedure that determines when a sub-test should be stopped, designed to maintain rapport and reduce evaluation time.
Scoring
- Scoring Definition: Guidelines for correcting each item are provided to ensure consistent scoring.
Age Range for WISC-V
- Administered to children aged 6 to 16 years, 11 months.
WISC-V Administration Criteria
- Considerations include the child's age, normal cognitive development level, and absence of significant sensory or motor difficulties that may affect evaluation. Administration and scoring must follow detailed manual instructions to ensure validity and reliability of results.
Instructions for Specific Tests
- Block Design: Demonstrate how to replicate a provided cube design, highlighting cube colors; child is instructed to replicate it as closely as possible.
- Analogies: Pose questions about similarities between numbers; encourages reasoning through similarity.
- Matrix Reasoning: Guide evaluation of figures to determine the correct match based on vertical and horizontal compatibility, avoiding diagonal assessments.
