Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is a standardized test designed to measure the cognitive abilities of children aged 6 to 16. It assesses various aspects of intelligence, including verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. The WISC helps identify a child's strengths and weaknesses in different cognitive areas.
The test consists of multiple subtests, each focusing on specific skills, such as vocabulary, arithmetic, and pattern recognition. Results from the WISC can assist educators and psychologists in developing tailored educational plans and interventions to support a child's learning and development.
