WAIS-IV US/Canadian norms controversy---articles for readers to review
I previously provided an FYI post on a hot topic in Canada...claims that the new WAIS-IV Canadian norms were flawed. There are now three articles outlining the different arguments. The three articles, published in JPA, can be found here, here, and here.
I continue to not comment on this controversy given my obvious conflict of interest as a coauthor of the competing WJ-IV.
