WISC-IV Advanced Clinical Interpretation

By: Lawrence G. Weiss,Donald H. Saklofske,Aurelio Prifitera,James A. Holdnack

For both experienced psychologists and graduate students, WISC-IV Advanced Clinical Interpretation moves quickly through the essentials of WISC-IV interpretation and onto an insightful analysis of the major cognitive domains assessed by WISC-IV. It is the intention of the editors to raise the standard of practice from a simplistic 'test-label-place' model to a clinical model of assessing to understand and intervene. In the first chapter, the reader is presented with a comprehensive array of societal and home environment factors for which there is empirical evidence indicating their impact on the development of children's cognitive abilities, and ultimately their scores on intelligence tests. Subsequent chapters address issues related to the assessment of cognitive abilities that compose 'g', with special emphasis on the clinical correlates of working memory and processing speed from both neuropsychological and cognitive information processing perspectives. Each new chapter builds on material presented in previous chapters and progresses the reader purposefully through deeper levels of understanding of WISC-IV and cognitive assessment in general. Two chapters explicate the processing approach to interpretation that is the corner stone of the WISC-IV Integrated. A further chapter addresses the interpretation of WISC-IV findings within the context of other instruments as part of a full psychological evaluation. The final chapter provides an extensive case example of how to write psychological evaluation reports from a child-centered rather than a score-centered perspective that can have transforming impact on parents and teachers approach to the child. Overall, these four authors are the architects of a masterful new book on advanced WISC-IV interpretation from a clinical perspective, Together with the complimentary book, WISC-IV Clinical Assessment and Intervention, Second Edition these books provide the complete spectrum of information needed by all psychologists who use the WISC-IV in clinical practice. - The Wechsler scale is the most widely used assessment of children's intelligence - Authored by assessment experts including Harcourt Assessment staff with exclusive data on the WISC-IV - Discusses interpretation of 4 index scores of WISC-IV - Examines the WISC-IV in relation to other frequently used psychological tests - Describes the importance of the WISC-IV integrated in clinical assessment - Predicts scholastic achievement based on WISC-IV subtest scores - Discusses modification of score interpretation based on culture, SES, & other contextual factors

WISC-V

Clinical Use and Interpretation

By: Lawrence G. Weiss,Donald H. Saklofske,James A. Holdnack,Aurelio Prifitera

WISC-V: Clinical Use and Interpretation, Second Edition provides practical information for clinicians on the selection of subtest measures, along with their proper administration and interpretation. Full Scale IQ is identified as important for predicting relevant behaviors and primary index scores for characterizing the child's strengths and weaknesses. Classroom indicators of low scores on each of these abilities are identified, with suggested interventions, accommodations and instructional strategies for low scorers. Coverage includes ethnic differences for the Full Scale IQ and each primary index score, along with evidence of the profound influence of parental attitudes and expectations. Several other societal and contextual factors relevant to understanding racial/ethnic differences are presented. Two chapters review use of the WISC-V for identifying learning disabilities, testing of individuals with dyslexia, and best-practice recommendations to ensure accurate diagnosis and intervention. Concluding chapters describe advances in the Q-interactive system platform allowing administration of the WISC-V on iPads and other tablets, and how clinicians can tailor assessment using select WISC-V subtests and features. - Authored by the creators of the WISC-V - Describes the new subtests, revised test structure and test extensions - Advises clinicians on test selection - Provides test result interpretation - Discusses clinical applications of test use

WISC-V Assessment and Interpretation

Scientist-Practitioner Perspectives

By: Lawrence G. Weiss,Donald H. Saklofske,James A. Holdnack,Aurelio Prifitera

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale is the most widely used intelligence test for children worldwide. WISC-V introduces new subtests, composite scores, process scores, error scores, and scaled scores as a more complex and accurate means of assessing cognitive abilities. WISC-V Assessment and Interpretation provides practical information for clinicians on selection of subtest measures, administration, and interpretation. New subtests are described along with tips for accurate administration and scoring. Full Scale IQ is identified as important for predicting relevant behaviors, and primary index scores for characterizing the child's strengths and weaknesses. Classroom indicators of low scores on each of these abilities are identified, with suggested interventions, accommodations, and instructional strategies for low scorers. Coverage includes ethnic differences for the Full Scale IQ and each primary index score, along with evidence of the profound influence of parental attitudes and expectations. Several other societal and contextual factors relevant to understanding racial/ethnic differences are presented. Two chapters review use of the WISC-V for identifying learning disabilities, testing of individuals with dyslexia, and best-practice recommendations to ensure accurate diagnosis and intervention. Concluding chapters describe advances in the Q-interactive system platform allowing administration of the WISC-V on iPads and other tablets and how clinicians can tailor assessment using select WISC-V subtests and features. - Authored by the creators of the WISC-V - Describes the new subtests, revised test structure, and test extensions - Advises clinicians on test selection and custom tailoring of assessment measures - Provides best practice recommendations for accurate administration and scoring - Addresses electronic administration via tablets and comparison to print scores - Reviews social/contextual factors for understanding racial/ethnic differences - Translates scores to predict behaviors and identify child strengths and weaknesses - Suggests interventions, accommodations, and instructional strategies for low scorers

The Functional and Harmonic Analysis of Wavelets and Frames

AMS Special Session on the Functional and Harmonic Analysis of Wavelets, January 13-14, 1999, San Antonio, Texas

By: Lawrence W. Baggett,David R. Larson

Over the past decade, wavelets and frames have emerged as increasingly powerful tools of analysis on $n$-dimension Euclidean space. Both wavelets and frames were studied initially by using classical Fourier analysis. However, in recent years more abstract tools have been introduced, for example, from operator theory, abstract harmonic analysis, von Neumann algebras, etc. The editors of this volume organized a Special Session on the functional and harmonic analysis of wavelets at the San Antonio (TX) Joint Mathematics Meetings. The goal of the session was to focus research attention on these newly-introduced tools and to share the organizers' view that this modern application holds the promise of providing some deeper understanding and fascinating new structures in pure functional analysis. This volume presents the fruitful results of the lively discussions that took place at the conference

Mechanisms of DNA Damage and Repair

Implications for Carcinogenesis and Risk Assessment

By: Michael G. Simic,Lawrence Grossman,Arthur C. Upton,David S. Bergtold

This book is based on the papers presented at the conference on "Mecha nisms of DNA Damage and Repair: Implications for Carcinogenesis and Risk Assessment," held at the National Bureau of Standards on June 2-7, 1985, This volume deals with mechanisms of DNA damage and repair at the molecular level; consequences of unrepaired or misrepaired damage, with major emphasis on carcinogenesis; drugs which bind selectively to altered and potentially damaging DNA sequences; and potential utilization of DNA damage as an endpoint for assessing risks of UV light, ionizing radiations, chemicals, drugs, and hazardous agents in foods. Because the induction of mutations by radiation and genotoxic chemicals has been observed to follow one-hit kinetics in some instances, it is generally assumed that any level of exposure to a DNA-damaging agent may increase the risk of genetic disease or cancer in an exposed population. At the same time, however, there is evidence that although the DNA of living cells is continually damaged by natural background radiation, free radicals, and other naturally occurring processes, most of the damage is normally repaired.
