| Abstract: | A recommendation that Mazes be substituted for Coding in the assessment of giftedness with the WISC-R was investigated by including both subtests in the evaluation of 50 children referred for verification of eligibility. Scaled scores on Mazes were significantly higher than those on Coding for the group, although the proportion of children meeting the established criterion was similar under inclusion of either subtest in the computation of Full Scale Scores. These data offer general support for the selective inclusion of Mazes in this type of assessment. |
