Compared Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQ scores from two groups of neurologically impaired patients ( N = 114) similar in age, years of education, occupation, race, sex, and etiology and location of cerebral dysfunction. One group had been given the WAIS and the other the WAIS‐R. All three IQ scores were higher for the WAIS group, with Full Scale and Verbal scores significantly ( p < 0.05) higher. Changes in item content and standardization sample cohort effects are offered as partial possible explanation for the results. The IQ scores from the two tests cannot be considered as interchangeable for neurological patients.
