The Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale. For Diagnosis in Brain Damage: An Individual Approach
Abstract
The use of the Wechsler-Bellevue Scale in diagnosing organic brain damage raised many controversies. The interdependence between the results of the verbal and performance scales has proved to be more complex than Wechsler had formulated it. Lack of unambiguous results showing the diagnostic value of the organicity indices that he had suggested, as well as a continuous interest in the problem were the reasons for presenting an analysis of there cases on the basis of which not so much the value of differences between the scales was shown as the usefulness of analysis of the way the test tasks are performed when such analisis is confronted with the life history of the subjects. The obtained results allow one to extend and change the interpretation of the test results beyond the sollutions suggested by Wechsler.
