    IV UPDATE

    We want to bring to your attention a change we have made to the WAIS–IV Technical and Interpretive
    Manual, Table C.2: Differences Between the FSIQ and the GAI Required for Statistical Significance. The
    formula previously used to calculate these values did not account for the subtests that are common to
    both composite scores. The attached table serves as the replacement for Table C.2. This change does
    not affect the calculation of an examinee’s subtest or composite scores.

    In recognition of emerging demographic and clinical trends, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale®–
    Fourth Edition (WAIS–IV®) was developed to provide you with the most advanced measure of cognitive
    ability and results you can trust. The WAIS-IV offers precision and simplicity in one comprehensive
    battery combined with the enhanced utility that results from the rigorous collection and stratification of
    normative data
    that is the hallmark of Wechsler tradition.

    It is this commitment to excellence that led us to focus on four issues to guide the WAIS-IV revision:

     Changing demographics
     Shifting clinical needs
     Emerging research
     Increasing caseload

    Australia and New Zealand Language Adaptation

    Pearson Clinical Assessment has a goal. To continually provide the highest standard of assessment and
    testing resources to our clients.

    To maintain high levels of validity and reliability, and to ensure the most effective use in Australia and
    New Zealand, the WAIS-IV has been language adapted for our populations.

    Test Structure

    The WAIS–IV structure was modified to align with the widely popular WISC–IV® and to reflect current
    theory regarding cognitive ability.
    The new structure is also more reflective of current cognitive ability theory and
    divides scores into four specific domains. The core battery consists of ten total
    subtests that yield the FSIQ and four Index Scores. There are also five supplemental
    subtests that may be substituted for core subtests or administered for additional
    information.

    New Subtest Samples

    Visual Puzzles

     Contributes to Perceptual Reasoning


    Composite
     More reliable measure than Object
    Assembly
     Requires no motor skills

    Q: "Which 3 of these pieces go together to make this


    puzzle?"

    A: "Options 1, 3 and 6 go together to make this puzzle."

    Figure Weights

     Contributes to Perceptual Reasoning


    Composite
     Measure of quantitative and analogical
    reasoning
     Requires no motor skills

    Q: "Which one of these goes here to balance the


    scale?"

    A: "Option 2 goes there to balance the scale."


    Cancellation

     Contributes to Processing Speed


    Composite
     Imbedded Stroop Effect
     Provides scores for omission and
    commission errors
