[Results of the revision of the 1983 Hamburg-Wechsler Intelligence Test for Children in students with severe reading disorders].
In connection with the current discussion about the use of the HAWIK-R in differential diagnosis, 20 children with severe reading retardation were tested with both the HAWIK and the HAWIK-R and the results compared, and 48 children with this disorder were tested with the HAWIK-R and divided into three groups by the amount of difference between verbal and performance scores. The results on the subtests of the HAWIK-R were grouped by the categories recommended by Titze and Tewes. In the first part of the study, the 20 reading retarded children scored lower on the HAWIK-R than on the HAWIK on the majority of subtests and also had much lower verbal, performance and full scale IQs. In the second part of the study, we found marked differences between the groups on most of the HAWIK-R subtests, especially between the groups where the verbal IQ was lower than the performance IQ and where the verbal IQ was higher than the performance IQ. With regard to the categories of subtests, the children with a lower verbal than performance IQ showed deficits attributable to poor learning skills, milieu and attention relatively frequently. On the other hand, the children with a higher verbal than performance IQ tended to have deficits in perceptuomotor skills and disorders of integrative brain functions. The problems involved in using the HAWIK-R for differential diagnosis are critically evaluated. If the HAWIK-R data are examined in detail and the child involved is observed carefully this test can provide useful information for setting up remediation programs for poor readers.
