Abstract
Research concerned with the W-B as a test of general intelligence and as a diagnostic aid is summarized in this article. In comparison with an earlier review of the research with the W-B (see 26: 930) there has been an increase in the number of well controlled studies. In addition, it was noted that "research with psychiatric syndromes has been reduced, whereas a larger proportion of the studies reviewed deal with the W-B as a test of general intelligence, investigating its reliability, validity, rationale, etc." Research using various psychiatric populations and employing various scatter and patterning methods remains inconclusive. Methodological weaknesses in the current research are pointed out and new areas of research endeavor with the instrument are suggested. 139-item bibliography.
