A Note on Determining Significant Discrepancies Among Category Scores on Bannatyne's Regrouping of WISC-R Subtests

Abstract

Bannatyne's recategorization of Wechsler subtests into the process oriented categories of Spatial, Conceptual, and Sequential has been shown to be useful in differentiating groups of normal from reading disabled children and may have utility for understanding the cognitive functioning of individual children. Discrepancy scores required at three significance levels when comparing a single child's performance on one category with his or her mean level of performance across all three categories are developed and reported.
