title: When academic performance is higher than WISC-III IQs, is the sequential-processing model of intelligence the preferred approach to assessment?
abstract: The WISC-III is probably the most widely used measure of intelligence for children of school age. On occasion, an unusual psychometric profile emerges in which academic ability is much higher than would be expected for IQ. Initial data for 8 children suggest that the sequential-processing model of intelligence may be the preferred approach to assessment in such situations.
