Technical Information
- Data collected from 12 clinical groups: stroke, dementia, hearing impaired, intellectual disability disorder (child and adult), TBI (child and adult), learning disabilities (child and adult), ADHD (child and adult), and gifted
- Available scores include percentile ranks, 90% and 95% confidence intervals, T scores, z scores, NCEs, and stanines
- Internal consistency studies associated with RIAS-2 indexes exceed .90 across age groups
- High correlation between the RIAS and RIAS-2 Indexes shows the consistency of item content and performance between the two measures
- Criterion-related validity was assessed by examining correlations between the RIAS-2 indexes and the WISC-IV™, WAIS-IV™, WPPSI-IV™, AAB, FAR, and ChAMP. All correlations were found to be in the strong to very strong range.
- Strong to very strong correlations between the RIAS-2 and other measures, including the AAB, FAR, and ChAMP demonstrate the criterion-related validity of the RIAS-2
