| Abstract: | A study was conducted to ascertain whether the use of an interpreter and/or a regular examiner in administering the WISC would affect the test results of a group of Mexican-American children. A covariance analysis of the results indicated that the use of English in the administration of some subtests of the Verbal Scale and a Spanish administration of some scales of the performance test are likely to elicit optimum performance of Mexican-American children. |
