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.
