Abstract

The WISC-R was translated into Spanish and published by the Psychological Corporation as a research edition in 1982. The Escala de Inteligencia Wechsler para Ninos-Revisada (EIWN-R) was published as a research edition. This paper reports on two preliminary studies with Puerto Rican children and adolescents. The first study was performed in Puerto Rico with 51 upper elementary school children. The EIWN-R was found to be a reliable instrument for this population. The second study was performed with a population of 80 students in Hartford, Connecticut. The purpose of the Hartford study was to determine if the EIWN-R would be a good predictor of achievement for students in a bilingual program. The results indicated that the EIWN-R is an appropriate predictor of academic achievement for the population in this study.
