Learning Deficiencies Among Adult Inmates, 1982: Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Washington
The National Institute of Justice sponsored this study of
1,065 prison inmates in Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Washington.
Respondents were administered an academic achievement test, the Tests
of Adult Basic Education, and an individual intelligence test, the
Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R). Other screening
tests were also given to certain respondents, including the
Mann-Suiter Disabilities Screening Test and the Adaptive Behavior
Checklist. Data for each inmate includes offenses committed, prior
institutionalization, juvenile adjudication, years of formal
education, academic and vocational participation while incarcerated,
previous diagnoses, childhood home situation, death of parents, number
of siblings, and any childhood problems. Information on demographic
characteristics, such as age, sex, race, employment history, and
physical condition, is available for each respondent.
