The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence is one of the most widely used assessments of intelligence for preschoolers and young children for evaluation of learning disability, developmental delay, language delay, intellectual disability, or gifted and talented classification. Essentials of WPPSI-IV provides comprehensive, step-by-step guidelines to administering, scoring, and interpreting the latest edition of this test. This indispensable resource introduces an expanded test structure with uniquely sensitive, age-appropriate additional subtests and composite scores to measure working memory and inhibitory control.
