Factor Analysis of the WISC-R for a Group of Mentally Retarded Children and Adolescents

Van Hagen, John; Kaufman, Alan S.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 43, 5, 661-667, Oct 75

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children was administered to 80 retarded youngsters from ages 6 to 16 years. The factors found for the retarded children are similar to those found for normal children. This similarity suggests there may be no qualitative differences in intelligence structure for normal and retarded children. (Author/SJL)
