| Description: | The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children- Fifth Edition: Canadian (WISC-V CDN) is an individually administered clinical instrument for assessing the intelligence of children aged 6 years 0 months through 16 years 11 months. This revision of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children- Fourth Edition (WISC-IV;Wechsler, 2003) provides subtest and composite scores that represent intellectual functioning in specific cognitive domains, as well as a composite score that represents general intellectual ability (i.e., Full Scale IQ[FSIQ]). A number of other subtest, process, and index scores intended for additional clinical uses are included. It incorporates significant revisions that include updated norms, new subtests, new index scores and major changes to scoring terminology.
The WISC-V is composed of 21 subtests; 13 retained from the WISC-IV; 8 new subtests were developed for the WISC-V: Figure Weights, Visual Puzzles, Picture Span, Naming Speed Literacy, Naming Speed Quantity, Immediate Symbol Translation, Delayed Symbol Translation, and Recognition Symbol translation. |
