WISC-R versus WISC for Black Children Suspected of Learning or Behavioral Disorders.
Weiner, Sondra Goldwyn; Kaufman, Alan S.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v12 n2 p100-05 Feb 1979

Ss had significantly lower WISC-R than WISC score, supporting previous studies which suggest that the WISC-R norms are "tougher" than the WISC norms. (CL)
