The classic text--now updated with a new interpretive approach tothe WAIS?-III Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence, the classic text fromAlan Kaufman and Elizabeth Lichtenberger, has consistently providedthe most comprehensive source of information on cognitiveassessment of adults and adolescents. The newly updated ThirdEdition provides important enhancements and additions thathighlight the latest research and interpretive methods for theWAIS?-III. Augmenting the traditional "sequential" and "simultaneous"WAIS?-III interpretive methods, the authors present a new approachderived from Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory. This approachcombines normative assessment (performance relative to age peers)with ipsative assessment (performance relative to the person's ownmean level). Following Flanagan and Kaufman's work to develop asimilar CHC approach for the WISC?-IV, Kaufman and Lichtenbergerhave applied this system to the WAIS?-III profile of scores alongwith integrating recent WAIS?-III literature. Four appendices present the new method in depth. In addition to adetailed description, the authors provide a blank interpretiveworksheet to help examiners make the calculations and decisionsneeded for applying the additional steps of the new system, andnorms tables for the new WAIS?-III subtest combinations added inthis approach. Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence remains the premierresource for the field, covering not only the WAIS?-III but alsothe WJ III?, the KAIT, and several brief measures of intelligence,as well as laying out a relevant, up-to-date discussion of thediscipline. The new, theory-based interpretive approach for theWAIS?-III makes this a vital resource for practicing psychologists,as well as a comprehensive text for graduate students.

The current research investigated the relationship between the WRAT-4 and WASI in males over 40. 61 participants, predominantly Caucasian, ages 42 to 90 (M = 63.33, SD = 12.56), participated. It was hypothesized that there would be strong positive correlations between the WRAT-4 and WASI and depressed individuals would perform more poorly on both measures. A 2 (order of administration) x 2 (type of test) mixed ANCOVA used depression (as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory 2 nd Edition) as a covariate and showed participants who completed the WASI first did not perform as well as participants who completed the WRAT-4 first. A 3 (test score) x 2 (depression level) mixed ANOVA was also utilized. Both hypotheses were confirmed.
