Please note,WMS-IV^UK is due for publication early 2010.

For scoring options and sample reports, please see the WAIS-III / WMS-III Writer.

UK Adaptation and Standardisation: Centre for Applied Social and Psychological Development, Salomans, Canterbury Christ Church.

The WAIS^®-III^UK  and WMS^®-III^UK were co-normed for the first time in order to help illustrate the relationship between overall intellectual ability and memory. Since memory abilities are an important subset of intellectual functioning, IQ can be used to estimate an individual's expected level of memory functioning.

The evaluation of the discrepancy between IQ and memory provides the basis for determining a focal memory impairment. Naturally, the more relevant the assessment, the more accurate the diagnosis and treatment plan. Individually, these assessments will continue to provide the same excellence you've come to expect.

Together they demonstrate that IQ and memory can be used together to expand assessment of the domains of cognitive functioning.

• National UK Sample
