  • Describes the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC) in terms of its usefulness for gifted children. Discussion focuses on the inclusion of gifted and talented children in the standardization sample, the test's basis in neuropsychological theory, inclusion of high-level tasks and difficult items on the various subtests, special administrative features, and the results of research on the KABC with gifted children. The implications for assessment of giftedness in minority children are also treated, as is the special role of the KABC Achievement Scale for identifying gifted children.

  • This text concerns the clinical assessment of the intelligence of adolescents and adults. In addition to the Wechsler Adults Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R), other instruments are also integrated with the WAIS-R to aid clinicians in assessing individuals with brain damage (Chapters 9, 10, 11, 12, 17), learning disabilities (Chapters 13 & 16), mental retardation (Chapter 15), Alzheimer's disease (Chapters 13 & 17), psychiatric disorders (Chapter 9), and a variety of neuropsychiatric disabilities (Chapter 14). The main question faced by most examiners is not whether to give the WAIS-R, but what instruments should be used to supplement the WAIS-R. Memory tests? Other cognitive tasks? Achievement batteries? Adaptive behavior inventories? Tests of creativity? Thorough neuropsychological batteries? Virtually every important test for the 12+ age range that was designed to measure intelligence or closely related skill areas is described and evaluated. Coverage includes tests that have recently been published (Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised) and some that were not yet available when this book went to press (Peabody Individual Achievement Test-Revised, Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery-Revised). This text is intended for graduate students and professionals in clinical psychology, school psychology, neuropsychology, counseling, special education, educational psychology, developmental psychology, psychometrics, psychiatry, and gerontology. It is appropriate for students who are learning to administer tests for the first time as well as advanced students taking practica or internships.
