Participants will learn how: the clinical utility of the WAIS-IV has been enhanced; the WAIS-IV has been made more developmentally appropriate; new measures of fluid intelligence, working memory, and processing speed have been added; psychometric properties have been improved to reflect changes in demographics; ease of administration has been enhanced. Participants will learn which subtests have been added, changed or dropped and why. They will have the opportunity to practice applying the WAIS-IV to clinical examples. Participants are assumed to have some familiarity with the WAIS-III.
