Abstract
The verbal classification schema for the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery was investigated to determine what meaning should be ascribed to the various labels, i.e., Below Average, Moderate Deficit, Severe Deficit, etc. It was noted that the relative meaning of the labels changes, depending on the examinee's chronological age or grade placement. This contrasts with Wechsler's classifications which are invariant with respect to the examinee's age. Although the Woodcock-Johnson and Wechsler labels are semantically similar, it was cautioned that they are not conceptually similar.
