| Abstract: | The relationships among two psychometric measures of nonverbal cognitive ability (1) the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) Performance IQ and (2) the Reasoning Cluster score and two subtests, Analysis-Synthesis and Concept Formation, from the Woodcock-Johnson Psychoeducational Battery-Tests of Cognitive Ability (WJPB-TCA)- and a neuropsychological test of abstract reasoning and concept formation (Halstead Category Test) were examined for a population of 25 children referred for psychoeducational evaluation as a result of learning difficulty. The findings demonstrated that the WISC-R Performance IQ and the Halstead Category Test have a common variance and appear to be sensitive to nonverbal cognitive ability, particularly of a perceptual organization nature. In contrast, the Reasoning Cluster score and the individual subtests from the WJPB-TCA appear to have a substantial g loading, as well as significant language correlates. |
