Abstract
The present investigation used the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale to compare the cognitive profiles of learning disabled and control young adults. Consistent with earlier research using the WISC and WISC-R, the Information, Digit Span, and Digit Symbol (i.e., Coding) subtests contribute substantially and independently to group differentiation. Bannatyne's Sequential factor also discriminates between these groups. These subtest and Bannatyne factor group differences obtain for both average-IQ (≤109) and high-IQ (≤110) young adults. These results suggest that the deficits observed in LD children and adolescents persist into early adulthood.Keywords
