Standard scores are mean=100 (SD=15) except for Wechsler Abbreviated Intelligence Scale Vocabulary and nonverbal problem solving, where mean=50 (SD=10). Multiply correlations by .01. Correlations involving Number Line Estimation are negative. WASI is Wechsler Abbreviated Intelligence Scale. WDRB is Woodcock Diagnostic Reading Battery. WJ III is Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery–Revised. Language is WDRB Listening Comprehension and WASI Vocabulary; Concept Formation is WJ III Concept Formation; Nonverbal problem solving is WASI Matrix Reasoning; WMTB is Working Memory Test Battery – Children; Attentive behavior is the SWAN; Processing Speed is WJ III Visual Matching; Arithmetic is the Test of Mathematics Fact Fluency.
