Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fifth Edition (WISC-V)
The WISC-V26 assesses intellectual functioning across
five domains. For the purposes of this screening program, one test was
administered from each domain, including Vocabulary (Verbal
Comprehension), Block Design (Visual Spatial), Matrix Reasoning (Fluid
Reasoning), Digit Span (Working Memory), and Coding (Processing Speed).
Each subtest raw score produced a scaled score with a mean of 10 and anSD of 3. An average scaled score was calculated for each
participant by computing an average of the five scaled scores (reported
as “mean cognitive score”). The WISC-V has established psychometric
properties and has demonstrated construct invariance among African
American students27.
