Comparison of nominal recall (standard) and multiple-choice methods for administration of WISC-R information subtest: a preliminary study indicating a learning effect of multiple-choice testing.
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised (WISC--R) Information subtest was administered to learning disabled children using two methods of administration, the standard (recall) method and a multiple-choice format. Those children who were tested first with the multiple-choice format and subsequently with the standard format did better on the standard format than expected. This preliminary study suggests a learning effect of such multiple-choice testing and the desirability of further research being undertaken.
