  1. The WAIS-IV Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI) is derived primarily from which type of subtests?

    Answer: Verbal reasoning and knowledge tasks

    The VCI reflects verbal reasoning, comprehension, and acquired knowledge.

  2. Which index score on the WAIS-IV measures speed of simple visual scanning and clerical processing?

    Answer: Processing Speed Index

    The Processing Speed Index (PSI) measures quick, accurate visual-motor processing.

  3. Like the FSIQ, each WAIS-IV index score has a mean and SD of what values?

    Answer: Mean 100, SD 15

    All Wechsler index composites use a mean of 100 and SD of 15.

  4. Which WAIS-IV index assesses the ability to hold and manipulate information in mind, such as Digit Span?

    Answer: Working Memory Index

    The Working Memory Index (WMI) includes Digit Span and Arithmetic.

  5. The Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI) primarily reflects which ability?

    Answer: Nonverbal and fluid reasoning

    The PRI measures nonverbal, fluid reasoning and visual-spatial processing.

  6. A large, statistically significant discrepancy between two index scores is best interpreted as what?

    Answer: Evidence the FSIQ may be less interpretable as a single number

    Wide index scatter can make the overall FSIQ a less meaningful summary of varied abilities.

  7. On the WAIS-IV, how many core subtests are combined to compute the FSIQ?

    Answer: Ten

    Ten core subtests across the four indexes contribute to the WAIS-IV FSIQ.
