Abstract

Graduate students scored WISC Information, Comprehension, Vocabulary, and Coding subtests described as belonging to either an underachieving or high-achieving 5th grader. Results show that WISC scoring was biased by the scorers' expectations, particularly for the Comprehension subtest. Results demonstrate that scoring bias exists independently of test administration bias. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved).
