SERIES PREFACE
I n the Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, we have attempted to provide the reader with books that will deliver key practical information in the most efficient and accessible style. The series features instruments in a variety of domains, such as cognition, personality, education, and neuropsychology. For the experienced clinician, books in the series will offer a concise, yet thorough way to master utilization of the continuously evolving supply of new and revised instruments, as well as a convenient method for keeping up to date on the tried-and-true measures. The novice will find here a prioritized assembly of all the information and techniques that must be at ones fingertips to begin the complicated process of individual psychological diagnosis.
Wherever feasible, visual shortcuts to highlight key points are utilized alongside systematic, step-by-step guidelines. Chapters are focused and succinct. Topics are targeted for an easy understanding of the essentials of administration, scoring, interpretation, and clinical application. Theory and research are continually woven into the fabric of each book, but always to enhance clinical inference, never to sidetrack or overwhelm. We have long been advocates of intelligent testingthe notion that a profile of test scores is meaningless unless it is brought to life by the clinical observations and astute detective work of knowledgeable examiners. Test profiles must be used to make a difference in the childs or adults life, or why bother to test? We want this series to help our readers become the best intelligent testers they can be.
In Essentials of WJ III Cognitive Abilities Assessment, the authors provide a concise primer in WJ III Tests of Cognitive Abilities administration, scoring and interpretation. In addition, they go beyond the material already available in the WJ III manuals to provide a unique perspective on the history and clinical applications of the WJ III for the assessment of individuals with learning disabilities.

OVERVIEW
T he Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Cognitive Abilities (WJ III COG; Woodcock, McGrew, & Mather, 2001c) is a battery of carefully engi neered tests for measuring cognitive abilities and related aspects of cognitive functioning (Woodcock, 1992). The WJ III COG was conormed with the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement (WJ III ACH; Woodcock, McGrew, & Mather, 2001b) to form the complete Woodcock-Johnson III (WJ III; Woodcock, McGrew, & Mather, 2001a). Using the WJ III COG and the WJ III ACH together, professionals can make accurate comparisons among an individuals cognitive abilities, oral language ability, and achievement scores. Some WJ III COG tests are appropriate for individuals as young as 24 months, and all of the tests can be used with individuals from 5 to 95 years of age. Special norms are provided for college and university students.
