WECHSLER INTELLIGENCE SCALE FOR CHILDREN—FIFTH EDITION: SPANISH®

The WISC®–V Spanish is a culturally and linguistically valid test of cognitive ability in Spanish, for use with Spanish-speaking children in the US. Adapted from the proven and reliable WISC–V, this comprehensive adaptation is more than just a linguistic translation—test items have been validated to minimize cultural bias across multiple regions of origin, and modified when needed. While the test is given in Spanish, children earn credit for correct answers in either Spanish or English.

Modern, Comprehensive, & ConvenientThe WISC–V Spanish, offered in both digital and paper-and-pencil formats, provides more flexibility, convenience, and content than ever before. Notable improvements make identifying the issues—and finding the solutions—faster and easier than ever before.

Expanded test frameworkWISC–V Spanish provides a comprehensive measure of overall intellectual ability, as well as five specific cognitive domains that impact performance in the classroom and beyond. This level of coverage provides more flexibility as well as additional scores.

New primary subtestsThree new primary subtests extend the construct coverage and increase the test’s practical utility.

Visual Puzzles:A Visual Spatial subtest that measures the ability to analyze and synthesize information.

Figure Weights:A Fluid Reasoning subtest that measures quantitative reasoning and induction.

Picture Span:A Working Memory subtest that measures visual working memory.

New ancillary index scores

Several new scores provide additional information regarding a child’s performance for special situations and greatly increase the interpretive power of the instrument.

• Verbal (Expanded Crystallized) Index (VECI)

• Expanded Fluid-3 Index (EFI-3)

• Quantitative Reasoning Index (QRI)

• Auditory Working Memory Index (AWMI)

• Nonverbal Index (NVI)

• General Ability Index (GAI)

• Cognitive Proficiency Index (CPI)

More interpretive power

• Expanded score analysis approach highlights index- and subtest-level strengths and weaknesses analyses

• Separate visual and fluid reasoning composite scores result in greater interpretive clarity

• Expanded selection of process scores, enhancing the depth of interpretation and understanding of performance

• Optional language-environment verbal score adjustments available to provide an estimate of the degree to which personal and environmental realms may have influenced performance

More efficient & user friendly

The WISC–V Spanish increases construct coverage without increasing testing time. Other time saving updates include:

• Simplified instructions with reduced vocabulary level

• Reduced testing time to obtain the Full Scale IQ

• Shorter discontinue rules

• Refined scoring criteria

Updated psychometric properties

• Developed on children aged 6:0–16:11, whose primary language is Spanish, and who have attended schools in the US for less than 5 consecutive years

• Equated to the English normative sample using IRT approach

• Updated normative sample standardized on 2,200 children aged 6:0–16:11

• Normative sample stratified to match current US census data based on sex, race/ethnicity, parent education level, and geographic region for each age group

• Includes additional validity evidence based on Spanish-speaking clinical and validity samples
