• Resumen

  • Thirty four Puertorrican children, ages 8 to 10 years old from two different socioeconomic groups were tested to compare their scores in both WISC and WISC-R. the tests were administered in a counterbalanced order with a test-retest interval of one week. Significant WISC/WISC-R differences were found with the WISC-R yielding lower results in all 3 scales and in some subtests. These results have very important implications for the assessment of the intelligence of the children might be in-justly diagnosed as Mentally Retarded.
