Nonverbal skills were measured by the WISC Perceptual Organisation Index (a composite score derived from Picture Completion, Picture Arrangement, Block Design and Object Assembly subtests).
The domain of reasoning and problem solving was assessed using the following WISC-III tasks: picture completion, picture arrangement, block design, and object assembly.
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised includes Verbal (subtests: general information, similarities, arithmetic, Vocabulary, understanding) and performance (subtests: picture completion, picture arrangement, block design, object assembly, coding-digit symbol) scales.
below the normative mean for their chronological age and WISC Perceptual Organisation Index (a composite score of the non-verbal subtests Picture Completion, Picture Arrangement, Block Design and Object Assembly) of >77.5 (1.5 s.d. below that expected for their age).
The verbal IQ test evaluates "information," "similarities," "arithmetic," "vocabulary," and "comprehension," while the performance IQ test evaluates "picture completion," "picture arrangement," "block design," "object assembly," and "coding" (Table 2).
Subjects were administered the German version of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R; Tewes 1991, the adult equivalent of the WISC-III) using all 11 subtests (vocabulary, comprehension, information, digit span, arithmetic, similarities, block design, picture completion, picture arrangement, object assembly and digit symbol coding).
Evaluation / Assessment: Students will be evaluated based on completion of picture webs, participation in class discussion, thoughtfully created interview questions, thoroughly conducted interviews and well-written narratives.
All of the participants completed the subtests, including the block design, picture completion, matrix reasoning, vocabulary, similarities, information, digit span, arithmetic, and letter-number sequence subtests, that together comprise the POI, VCI, and WMI scores individually.
Post hoc individual Mann-Whitney U-tests revealed significant differences between "picture completion" and "block design" (P = 0.009), "picture completion" and "object assembly" (P = 0.002), "picture arrangement" and "block design" (P = 0.043), and "picture arrangement" and "object assembly" (P = 0.018).
In all these cases, the completion of the picture, as well as its initiation, owed a lot to the creative vision of an actor who was serving as an extra producer.
Wyeth felt that the unassuming scene portrayed the mystery, brutality, and tenderness of Karl's contradictory character more accurately than if his subject had been present for the completion of the picture.
