Text

This subtest from the WAIS-IIIUK was used to assess non-verbal reasoning. In each item the participants examine a pattern arrayed in matrix with a piece missing. The elements of the matrix are arrayed according to rules. The task is to work out the rules, apply them to find out what the missing piece should look like, and choose the correct piece from the answer options.
