title: WISC-R performance patterns of learning-disabled children from Papago culture.
abstract: Examined the WISC-R profiles of learning-disabled children from the Papago culture. A sample of 46 Papagos diagnosed as learning disabled were used in the study. Recategorized scores were subjected to 1 X 3 repeated measures ANOVA, and the differences between mean categorized scores were analyzed by Newman-Keuls tests for simple effects. Analysis of the obtained data suggested that learning-disabled Papago children were not characterized by Spatial greater than Conceptual greater than Sequential pattern because WISC-R performance of these children was found to be similar on Sequential and Spatial categories. Caution in the use of WISC-R profile for differential diagnosis was recommended.
