Outline of Final Research Achievements |
WISCI-IV is the most useful intelligence test for children in Japan. We carried this research to enhance the usefulness and interpretation of its results. (1) In the Cancellation subtest, which measures examinee's speed of simple writing work, it was found that examinees who use randome searching strategy show higher scores than examinees who use systematic one. (2) In the Coding and Symbol Search subtests, we calculated the score conversion equation for low IQ examinee. (3) In the Picture Concept subtest, which measures examinee's nonverbal reasoning ability, it was found that typically developing examinees gain scores when they answer it with verbalizing strategy, but examinees with ASD show no gain with verbalization.
