Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The discrepancy between Mr.Nolan's scores on verbal and performance subtests of the WAIS-IV would indicate how he approaches intellectual tasks and help the psychologist assess for potential brain damage. Response on projective tests and patterns on the various scales of the MMPI-2 would not necessarily provide information on intellectual task approach, and electrical activity in Mr.Nolan's brain as displayed by an electroencephalograph (EEG) may indicate brain function, but not specifically how he approaches intellectual tasks.
