Title
Assessing adolescent and adult intelligence
Abstract
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.

Pages: Chapter xiii, 753 Pages Publication Title: Assessing adolescent and adult intelligence abstractTranslation: Este texto se refiere a la evaluación clínica de la inteligencia de adolescentes y adultos. Además de la Escala de Inteligencia para Adultos de Wechsler (WAIS-R), también se integran otros instrumentos con la WAIS-R para ayudar a los médicos a evaluar a las personas con daño cerebral (Capítulos 9, 10, 11, 12, 17), discapacidades de aprendizaje (Capítulos 13 y 16), retraso mental (Capítulo 15), enfermedad de Alzheimer (Capítulos 13 y 17), trastornos psiquiátricos (Capítulo 9) y una variedad de discapacidades neuropsiquiátricas (Capítulo 14). La cuestión principal a la que se enfrentan la mayoría de los examinadores no es si se debe dar el WAIS-R, sino qué instrumentos se deben utilizar para complementar el WAIS-R. ¿Pruebas de memoria? ¿Otras tareas cognitivas? ¿Baterías de logros? ¿Inventarios de comportamiento adaptativo? ¿Pruebas de creatividad? ¿Baterías neuropsicológicas completas? Prácticamente todas las pruebas importantes para el rango de edad de 12+ que fueron diseñadas para medir la inteligencia o áreas de habilidades estrechamente relacionadas se describen y evalúan. La cobertura incluye pruebas que se han publicado recientemente (Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised) y algunas que aún no estaban disponibles cuando este libro se imprimió (Peabody Individual Achievement Test-Revised, Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery-Revised). Este texto está dirigido a estudiantes de posgrado y profesionales de la psicología clínica, la psicología escolar, la neuropsicología, la consejería, la educación especial, la psicología educativa, la psicología del desarrollo, la psicometría, la psiquiatría y la gerontología. Es apropiado para estudiantes que están aprendiendo a administrar exámenes por primera vez, así como para estudiantes avanzados que realizan prácticas o pasantías.
