Publisher's Synopsis
- Educators and psychologists in the field of psychological and psychoeducational assessment will value this comprehensive yet readable guide to understanding and interpreting the revised (1989) cognitive section of the Woodcock-Johnson test battery (WJTCA-R).
Practical and thorough, the book offers a coherent approach to systematic and empirically based interpretation of test results. It was written as a bridge between research and practice; throughout, the goal is to help clinicians incorporate recent advances in the conceptualization of intelligence into their assessment practices. Difficult statistical techniques such as factor analyses and multiple regression are explained in an understandable manner, so that clinicians can make use of this technical information in every day practice. To achieve this goal, the author introduces unique visual diagrams and figures to represent test summaries, scoring tables, and other statistical data; and provides specific information for step-by-step interpretation, including special strengths and weaknesses worksheets to help clinicians with data analysis.
