Young and elderly adults' perceptions of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised.

Abstract:

:Because little information exists on examinees' perceptions of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R), this study was designed to assess such perceptions in two groups: young adults (n = 50, age 18-25 years) and elderly adults (n = 46, age 65-96 years). Each participant completed the WAIS-R followed by an opinion questionnaire. Both groups gave positive ratings overall. However, elderly participants rated the WAIS-R more positively than young participants both globally and on six of the eleven subtests. These findings suggest that the WAIS-R is viewed favorably by most examinees, particularly elderly adults. Implications for practitioners are presented.
