About this title

Synopsis

Kaufman (Yale U.) and Lichtenberger (The Salk Institute) say the intended audience for the first edition is the same as the 1990 first, but neglect to mention who that was. They describe the clinical and neuro-psychological assessment of intelligence, focusing the third edition of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III). They have narrowed the focus to individually administered, clinical measures, dropping coverage of comprehensive neuro-psychological batteries, adaptive behavior inventories, and individual achievement tests. They also incorporate findings and debates regarding intelligence and its testing that have emerged over the past decade. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

From the Back Cover

Key Benefits: Essential for anyone involved in evaluating intelligence, this important work is exceptionally comprehensive, yet written in a style that is easy to read. Key Topics: The book provides insights into the clinical and neuropsychological assessment of intelligence concentrating on people in the 16 to 74 age group. The book also examines assessment issues for adults in their 80's, and presents original research on aging and intelligence. Because of its preeminent acceptance, the Wec hsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) is the primary focus throughout the 17 chapters, however virtually every important intelligence test for the 12+ age range is described and evaluated.
