Cummings and Mascato Soft on Woodcock-Johnson.
Thompson, Pamela L.; Brassard, Marla R.
School Psychology Review, v13 n1 p41-44 Win 1984
This critique, of Cummings and Moscato's review (TM 508 777) of the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Ability (WJTCA) argues that the WJTCA is biased toward achievement resulting in a discrepancy of scores for learning disabled students. This bias is incompatible with the aptitude/achievement discrepancy model of specific learning disabilities. (Author/DWH)
