Abstract

The Digit Span subtest from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children was administered to 48 children. Half of the children were administred the test under the Wechsler procedures (last digit dropped in inflection), and the other half were administered the test under the Stanford-Binet procedures (uniform emphasis on all digits). Ss under the Wechsler procedure repeated significantly more digits in both the forward and backward conditions than did Ss under the Stanford-Binet procedures. It is suggested that for maximal use of normative data, examiners should be careful to administer these tests by the procedures under which they were standardized.
