Evaluation of Kaufman, Ishikuma, and Kaufman-Packer's Short Forms for Use with Psychiatric African American Children

Abstract

Three short forms of the WAIS-R, a dyad, triad, and tetrad suggested by Kaufman, Ishikuma, and Kaufman-Packer (1991), were adapted for the WISCIII and evaluated for a group of 137 6- to 16-year-old African American psychiatric inpatients. These short forms were also compared with a dyad and a tetrad suggested by Silverstein (1982) for the WAIS-R and by Kaufman (1976) for the WISCR. Kaufman et al's (1991) tetrad, which consists of Similarities, Arithmetic, Picture Completion, and Coding (the WISCIII analog of Digit Span), was judged superior, based on its brief administration time, ease of scoring, reliability, and predictive accuracy. The advisability of administering certain subtest combinations to African American children is questioned and discussed.
