WPPSI™-IV Wechsler Preschool & Primary Scale of Intelligence™ | Fourth Edition is an innovative measure of cognitive development for preschoolers and young children, rooted in contemporary theory and research.

The WPPSI-IV has been updated to assess children within three distinct age bands. This allows for a more accurate appraisal of a child’s developmental progress by considering cognitive tasks appropriate to their age group.

The latest version, WPPSI–IV, published by Pearson Education, is a revision of the WPPSI-R (Wechsler, 1989) and the WPPSI-III (Wechsler, 2002). It provides subtest and composite scores that represent intellectual functioning in verbal and performance cognitive domains, as well as providing a composite score that represents a child's general ...

The WPPSI (Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence) uses subtests to determine a child’s Verbal and Performance IQ scores as well as the processing speed for children ages 2.5 years old to 7.25 years old. The WPPSI uses composite scores to assess a student’s general intellectual ability and cognitive functioning based on their ...

WPPSI–IV Technical and Interpretive Manual describes the results of studies comparing the performance of special groups in this supplement to matched control groups from the normative sample .

Read on to learn more about the notable WPPSI–IV features which include new processing speed tasks, the addition of working memory subtests, an expanded test structure— and so much more.

The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) is a standardized assessment aimed to measure the cognitive development for children ages 2 years and 6 months to 7 years and 7 months.

WISC–IV requires the administration of 10 subtests to calculate the FSIQ, whereas the WPPSI–IV requires the administration of 6 subtests. Children who have difficulty completing a lengthier assessment may benefit from use of the WPPSI–IV.

Scale of Intelligence (Wechsler, 1967). The WPPSI-IV continues the traditional design and structure with numerous subtests each providing an estimate of general intelligence consistent with Wechsler’s “global capacity” definition of intelligence (Wechsler, 1939, p. 229), but it also incorporates new and innovative methods purporting to measure d...

This chapter provides an overview of the WPPSI-IV, WISC-V, and WIAT-III. It also provides a clinical case example to illustrate how results from intelligence and achievement measures can be integrated to provide richer clinical information than either type of test provides alone.
