Redefining the WISC-R: Implications for Professional Practice and Public Policy.
Macmann, Gregg M.; Barnett, David W.
Journal of Special Education, v26 n2 p139-61 Sum 1992
The factor structure of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) was examined in the standardization sample using new methods of factor analysis. The substantial overlap across factors was most parsimoniously represented by a single general factor. Implications for public policy regarding the purposes and outcomes of special education assessments are discussed. (Author/DB)
