title: WAIS Digit Symbol and Block Design scores in abstinent alcoholics: a replication.
abstract: Previous work has indicated that alcoholics perform more poorly on the Finnish WAIS Block Design than on the Digit Symbol. The purpose of the present study was to replicate that result. A total of 75 Finnish alcoholic men took part. The same kind of asymmetry was found between the tests, scores on the Block Design being poorer than those on Digit Symbol.
