This study compares the performance of learning disabled students on the WISC‐R and the Tests of Cognitive Abilities from the Woodcock‐Johnson Psycho‐Educational Battery. This study finds that learning disabled subjects performed more poorly on the Tests of Cognitive Abilities than on the WISC‐R. Data relative to a number of possible explanations for these results are reported.
