Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II 

Choose the correct answer from the options given below: 
 

• A. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• B. A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
• C. A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Hint:

To remember the WISC-IV indexes, think about the skills they measure: {VCI} = Word knowledge. {PRI} = Visual puzzles. {WMI} = Mental juggling (like remembering a phone number). {PSI} = How fast you can do simple visual tasks.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Concept Identification: The task is to associate the four primary index scores of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) with their respective core subtests. Step 2: Detailed Analysis:
A. Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI): Assesses verbal concept formation and reasoning. The subtest I. Similarities, involving explanations of word associations, is a core VCI component.
B. Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI): Evaluates non-verbal and fluid reasoning. The subtest III. Picture Concepts, requiring the selection of pictures with shared characteristics from different rows, is a core PRI component.
C. Working Memory Index (WMI): Measures attention, concentration, and mental control. The subtest II. Digit Span, which requires recalling number sequences forwards and backwards, is a core WMI component.
D. Processing Speed Index (PSI): Assesses the speed of mental and graphomotor processing. The subtest IV. Coding, involving the rapid matching of symbols to numbers, is a core PSI component.
The correct pairings are A-I, B-III, C-II, and D-IV. Step 3: Conclusion: The correct sequence of matches is A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV, corresponding to option (B).
