Popis: Much like its predecessors, the Woodcock–Johnson IV (WJ IV) represents perhaps the most technically sophisticated psychometric batteries available to practitioners and offers a wide range of measurement of cognitive, academic, and linguistic abilities. Fair and equitable assessment of individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse populations with the WJ IV, however, continues to require knowledge and comprehension of the many ways varying levels of English language proficiency and acculturative knowledge acquisition can negatively impact test scores and attenuate overall performance.
