WISC-R profile analysis in differentiating LD from ED children.
Investigated the utility of profile analysis, using the WISC-R to differentiate learning disabled from emotionally disturbed and nonhandicapped children. Little evidence was found to support the use of WISC-R subtest scatter, and profile analysis was discussed. Research efforts that focus upon the meaning of WISC-R subtests in relation to the learning process were recommended.
