Getting Back to the Main Point: A Reply to Miller et al.
Harrison, Allyson G.; Holmes, Alana; Silvestri, Robert; Armstrong, Irene T.
Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, v33 n8 p780-786 Dec 2015
Miller et al. have challenged the findings of our two previous studies, based largely on the assumption that our findings are biased due to the clinical sample used. However, they fail to address the primary tenet of our studies, namely, that clinicians will obtain different scores on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV (WAIS-IV) depending on whether Canadian or American norms are used. This reply seeks to provide empirical evidence supporting the existence of such score differences even when nonclinical samples are used, and identifies some of the clinical decisions that are potentially affected by choice of normative data.
