title: Relationship between WISC verbal-performance discrepancies and motor and psychomotor abilities of children with learning disabilities.
abstract: Thirty 9- to 14-yr.-old boys with learning disabilities were divided into three WISC IQ groups: High Verbal-Low Performance, Verbal equal to Performance, and High Performance-Low Verbal. All Ss were given a battery of motor and psychomotor tests. WISC IQ Verbal-Performance discrepancy was not a good predictor of motor and psychomotor learning disabilities.
