Page "Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children" Paragraph 33

The WISC – IV has also been co normed with the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test-II UK ( WIAT – II UK ; The Psychological Corporation, 2005 ), a measure of academic achievement.

This linkage provides information on both cognitive ability and academic achievement in children.

Tests of intellectual functioning are used extensively in school settings to evaluate specific cognitive deficits that may contribute to low academic achievement, and to predict future academic achievement.

Using the WISC – IV in such a manner provides information for educational intervention purposes, such as interventions that address learning difficulties and cognitive deficits.
