An Argument for Administering WISC-R Digit Span
J. Gary Evans, Harry A. Hamm · Perceptual and Motor Skills · 1979
An argument is presented in favor of always administering the optional Digit Span subtest of the WISC-R. Use of Digit Span in conjunction with other subtests in a subtest grouping schemata--according to factor loadings--will substantially increase the usefulness of the WISC-R. Data show that often the Digit Span is not being given.
