These new elements were specially designed for forensic evaluations, readministrations, and neuropsychological evaluations. Generally, the ACS provides supplemental information for the results of the WAIS-IV and WMS-IV it includes six components that are relatively independent, namely, additional scores, effort measures, demographically adjusted norms, reliable change scores, test of premorbid functioning, and social cognition subtests. It is a clinical tool for extending the assessment of individuals' cognitive functioning. The "Advanced Clinical Solutions (ACS) for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition" (WAIS-IV Wechsler, 2008) and the "Wechsler Memory Scale-Fourth Edition" (WMS-IV Wechsler, 2009) was published by Pearson in 2009. Limitations and future directions are discussed.Īssessment epilepsy intelligence language norms/normative studies.The authors review the "Advanced Clinical Solutions for WAIS-IV and WMS-IV". Results suggested NAART-derived estimates of premorbid FSIQ may be more accurate than TOPF-based estimates, which likely underestimated premorbid FSIQ in this sample of patients with epilepsy. NAART estimated premorbid FSIQ ( M = 104.04, SD = 8.42) was significantly greater than TOPF premorbid estimates ( M = 99.83, SD = 9.26). Differences between NAART-derived premorbid FSIQs and TOPF simple demographic predicted FSIQs were significant ( p <. This study evaluated the clinical utility of premorbid estimates of FSIQ derived from the NAART and TOPF in a sample of 101 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). There is a paucity of research comparing estimates of premorbid general intellectual ability between the NAART and TOPF. The Test of Premorbid Function (TOPF) was developed using the WAIS-IV, based on the same method as the NAART, to estimate premorbid intellectual ability. The North American Adult Reading Test (NAART) is a method to predict premorbid general cognitive functioning based on word reading skills developed using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R), which is currently in its fourth edition (WAIS-IV). Estimating premorbid general cognitive functioning is an essential component to the neuropsychological evaluation process.
