Which type of score appears in the newer editions of WAIS and WISC but was not available in the original editions?
index scores
The newer editions of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) have introduced a new additional score that was not available in the original editions. This score is known as the “process score” or the “process approach” score. This score is intended to provide information about the respondent’s cognitive processes or strategies when answering the test questions, rather than just measuring their final performance. The process score helps in identifying the respondent’s specific areas of strengths and weaknesses in cognitive processing. This score can provide insight into underlying strengths or weaknesses in specific cognitive processes such as working memory, processing speed, verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, and others.
