Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of the present study is to develop the interpretation system of Japanese version of WISC-Ⅳ. We collected the data of WISC-Ⅳ, test taking behaviors, and ecological information of developmental disabilities traits. In this study we cannot conclude that the WISC-Ⅳ scores do not reflect ASD/ADHD traits. For example, the working memory index did not relate to the score of inattention. In addition, when we interpret the scores of WISC-Ⅳ, it is important to collect variety of information of test taking behaviors, ecological data on ASD/ADHD traits, or referring to the CHC model.
