  • Title: Neuropsychological and academic achievement correlates of abnormal WISC-R verbal-performance discrepancies.
    Author: Lueger RJ, Albott WL, Hilgendorf WA, Gill KJ.
    Journal: J Clin Psychol; 1985 Nov; 41(6):801-5. PubMed ID: 2416781.
    Abstract:
    This study examined neuropsychological and academic achievement correlates of statistically abnormal VIQ less than PIQ discrepancies on the WISC-R in a sample of 53 hospitalized children. Of 17 neuropsychological measures, only aphasia errors was associated with VIQ. Academic achievement measures of reading, spelling, and arithmetic were associated with abnormal VIQ less than PIQ discrepancies. The results indicate that statistically abnormal VIQ less than PIQ discrepancies reflect specific aphasia deficits rather than generalized neuropsychological dysfunction and that academic achievement deficiencies of a general nature ensue.
