Such a computer is sometimes called a Writable Instruction Set Computer or WISC.

Nisbett writes that the argument is based mainly on the g-loadings for the subtests of the WISC.

WISC-TV's digital subchannel, 3. 2, is known as " tvw ," and carries the MyNetworkTV schedule, syndicated programs and off-network reruns, as well as replays of some WISC programming, including replays of WISC's morning newscast from 7 – 9 a. m. TVW also serves as a backup channel for programming that is pre-empted on WISC.

In addition to its normal morning, midday, 6 p. m. and 10 p. m. newscasts, WISC airs " News 3 Live at Five ," which is largely devoted to non-headline news and features that focus on the community and the people of Madison, Dane County, and southern Wisconsin.

Some WISC news content is still included on TVW, including hourly weather updates and repeats of WISC's early morning news from 7-9AM ( while WISC airs CBS This Morning ).

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children ( WISC ), developed by Dr. David Wechsler, is an individually administered intelligence test for children between the ages of 6 and 16 inclusive that can be completed without reading or writing.

The WISC-IV is divided into fifteen subtests, ten of which formed part of the previous WISC III.

WISC – IV is also validated with measures of achievement, memory, adaptive behaviour, emotional intelligence, and giftedness.

Evidence of the convergent and discriminant validity of the WISC – IV is provided by correlational studies with the following instruments: WISC – III, WPPSI – III, WAIS – III, WASI, WIAT – II, CMS, GRS, BarOn EQ, and the ABAS – II.

The WISC is used not only as an intelligence test, but as a clinical tool.

The empirical consensus is that the WISC is best used as a tool to evaluate intelligence and not to diagnose ADHD or learning disabled children.

For example, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children ( WISC ), originally developed in 1949, was updated in 1974, in 1991, and again in 2003.

Examples of neuropsychological tests include: the Wechsler Adult Memory Scale ( WMS ), the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale ( WAIS ), and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children ( WISC ).

* Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children ( WISC )

He developed well-known intelligence scales, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale ( WAIS ) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children ( WISC ).

From these he derived the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children ( WISC ) in 1949 and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence ( WPPSI ) in 1967.

In the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV ( WISC IV ), the Perceptual Reasoning Index contains two subtests that assess Gf: Matrix Reasoning, which involves induction and deduction, and Picture Concepts, which involves induction.

A 2007 study suggested that Raven's Progressive Matrices ( RPM ), a test of abstract reasoning, may be a better indicator of intelligence for autistic children than the more commonly used Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children ( WISC ).

The original WISC ( Wechsler, 1949 ) was an adaption of several of the subtests which made up the Wechsler – Bellevue Intelligence Scale ( Wechsler, 1939 ) but also featured several subtests designed specifically for it.

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.

While Assistant Director at The Psychological Corporation from 1968 to 1974, he worked closely with David Wechsler on the revision of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children ( WISC ) and supervised the standardization of the revised version ( WISC-R ).

Researchers suspected that the WISC relied too heavily on language to be an accurate measure of intelligence for autistic individuals.

In practice, standardized instruments such as the Stanford-Binet IQ test and the WISC are widely used in economically developed countries to identify children in need of individualized educational treatment.

The average rate of increase seems to be about three IQ points per decade in the US on tests such as the WISC.

The increasing raw scores appear on every major test, in every age range and in every modern industrialized country although not necessarily at the same rate as in the US using the WISC.

Their study revealed that the neurotypical children scored similarly on both tests, but the autistic children fared far better on the RPM than on the WISC.

Tests include WISC, WAIS, WPPSI, Raven's Progressive Matrices and Versant.

Until cable arrived in Madison in the 1980s, WISC was the only local station that provided a clear signal to most of the market.

WISC usually airs the full CBS program schedule, though pre-emptions to overnight hours may occur due to local news or sports commitments, including occasional broadcasts of Wisconsin Badgers hockey broadcasts.

But there's one thing I never seen or heard of, one thing I just don't think there is, and that's a sportin' way o' killin' a man ''!!

I seized the rack and made a western-style flying-mount just in time, one of my knees mercifully landing on my duffel bag -- and merely wrecking my camera, I was to discover later -- my other knee landing on the slivery truck floor boards and -- but this is no medical report.

The true artist is like one of those scientists who, from a single bone can reconstruct an animal's entire body.

In fact, one important aspect of their very religion is the annihilation of men ''.

It took thirty of our women almost six moons to build this one, which is higher and stronger than the old one.

I clapped the big man with the bleached hair on his shoulder and said heartily, hoping it would make an impression on the women: `` This one is the maku Frayne.

`` This one is a tender chicken, oui??

but he presents it publicly so enmeshed in hypocrisy that it is not an honest one.

My definition of this much abused adjective is that a reconstructed rebel is one who is glad that the North won the War.

For one thing, this is not a subject often discussed or analyzed.

The general acceptance of the idea of governmental ( i.e., societal ) responsibility for the economic well-being of the American people is surely one of the two most significant watersheds in American constitutional history.

A third, one of at least equal and perhaps even greater importance, is now being traversed: American immersion and involvement in world affairs.

Today, as new nations rise from the former colonial empires, nationalism is one of the hurricane forces loose in the world.

Historically, however, the concept is one that has been of marked benefit to the people of the Western civilizational group.

It is one of the ironic quirks of history that the viability and usefulness of nationalism and the territorial state are rapidly dissipating at precisely the time that the nation-state attained its highest number ( approximately 100 ).

But it is more than irony: one of the main reasons why nationalism is no longer a tenable concept is because it has spread throughout the planet.

Accidental war is so sensitive a subject that most of the people who could become directly involved in one are told just enough so they can perform their portions of incredibly complex tasks.

Only one rule prevailed in my conversations with these men: The more highly placed they are -- that is, the more they know -- the more concerned they have become.

However, the system is designed, ingeniously and hopefully, so that no one man could initiate a thermonuclear war.
