Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment WISC-IV question

I think what you're wondering about from a slightly different angle is - was your ds" relatively low score Picture Concepts score related to his other relatively low scores (I think he h ad dips n processing speed or maybe wm?) or was it just related to how he performed on that one subtest. I know it's been a long time since he was tested, but was,there anything about the s in the report or in your interview with whoever did the testing at the time?

I would be interested in hearing if there is something that might connect a low score on Picture Concepts with low scores on PSI subtests because my dysgraphic ds also had a relatively low score on Picture Concepts.

And on a slightly unrelated tangent - my kid saw a typewriter for the first time last summer.... Ina museum!

In the attention/concentration area, Number Letter is a verbal task, similar to digit span on the WISC-IV. Finger Windows (I assume that's what Sequences is) is a visual-spatial working memory task. Can you double check the index and subtest scores for Attention/Concentration? They don't make sense together.

I would imagine that he does well when he can make connections between skills and concepts, but not so much when factoids or skills are learned in isolation. (read: personally irrelevant)
