  • Title: Unusual combinations of verbal and performance IQs in normal and neurologically impaired elderly.
    Author: Paolo AM, Ryan JJ.
    Journal: J Clin Psychol; 1992 Mar; 48(2):230-3. PubMed ID: 1573025.
    Abstract:
    For the WAIS-R old age standardization sample, unusual Verbal-Performance IQ combinations were generated at the .05 and .01 levels of significance. In a preliminary attempt to determine the neurological significance of these unusual test score combinations, the standardization based values were compared to those of a small sample of elderly brain-injured subjects. The frequency of unusual IQ combinations was essentially the same for the normal and brain-damaged elderly. Unusual VIQ-PIQ combinations should not be considered pathognomonic of neurological impairment.
