Description
The current presentation examines the relationship between young children’s cognitive scores on the WJ IV ECAD and the WPPSI-IV. Preliminary data revealed a strong positive correlation between the WPPSI-IV FSIQ and the WJ IV ECAD GIA. However, the WJ IV ECAD GIA scores were generally higher than WPPSI-IV FSIQ. Practitioners will become better versed with the WJ IV ECAD and participate in a discussion of the instruments' strengths and weaknesses.
