Gilman, MS 2, and Troy Courville, PhD3  \n1 Pearson Clinical Assessment 2 Gifted Development Center 3 Georgia Tech Professional Education  \nOverview  \nThis technical report provides information about a new ancillary WISC–V index score: the Expanded General Ability Index (EGAI) . The EGAI is derived using eight subtests from the Verbal Comprehension, Visual Spatial, and Fluid Reasoning scales; it does not include working memory or processing speed subtests. The EGAI is designed to be used in situations for which an expanded measure of general intellectual ability that does not include Working Memory or Processing Speed subtests addresses a practical or clinical need. The EGAI does not replace any existing WISC–V composite score, but expands the options that are already available.  \nBackground  \nChildren with intellectual giftedness typically show strengths in higher-order reasoning domains such as verbal comprehension, visual spatial ability, and fluid reasoning (Raiford, Holdnack, Drozdick, & Zhang, 2014; Raiford et al., 2016; Rimm, Gilman, & Silverman, 2008; Wechsler, 2003, 2014; Wechsler & Kaplan, 2015). Their working memory and processing speed performance is typically higher than in the general population but lower than their performance in higher-order reasoning domains (Elliot, 2007; Kaufman & Kaufman, 2004; Raiford et al., 2014, 2016; Rimm et al., 2008; Rowe, Kingsley, & Thompson, 2010; Wechsler, 2003, 2014; Wechsler & Kaplan, 2015) . Because of the evidence that children who are intellectually gifted show intrapersonal weaknesses in the areas of working memory and processing speed, giftedness experts have advocated that either the FSIQ or General Ability Index (GAI) be used for gifted admissions evaluations if cognitive ability scores are used as an admission criteria (National Association for Gifted Children [NAGC], 2008; Rimm et al., 2008). According to the NAGC, advanced reasoning is more relevant to a child’s need for gifted programming, and weaknesses among gifted children in areas less related to advanced academic programming (e.g., slower speed on timed paper and pencil tasks) may lower the Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) score below cutoffs for gifted identification (NAGC, 2018) . Furthermore, working memory  \n1  \nCopyright © 2019 NCS Pearson, Inc. All rights reserved.

Intellectually gifted children are at times diagnosed with one or more of these conditions, and these are valid diagnoses among children with high levels of intelligence (Antshel et al., 2007; Barnard-Brak, Johnsen, Hannig, & Wei, 2015; Cain, Kaboski, & Gilger, in press; Mullet & Rinn, 2015) .  \nThe NAGC continues to monitor assessment options and to provide guidance to the states regarding use of psychological assessments in gifted identification and services. The NAGC addresses methods for documenting giftedness by comprehensively clarifying patterns of strengths and needs for twice-exceptional children (e.g., gifted and diagnosed with neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD, learning disorder, or autism) and other children with asynchronous development. The NAGC provides the guidance in order to ensure that gifted education is accessible to gifted children who are twice-exceptional, culturally diverse, disadvantaged, highly gifted, or bilingual; or who experience asynchronous development in other ways and may exhibit striking patterns of strengths in higher-order reasoning and weaknesses in working memory and processing speed.  \nFor the WISC–V, the NAGC (2018) has broadened the recommended scores to include other composites beyond the FSIQ and the GAI to include other anc","cbCaijnddJZow8LN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijnddJZow8LN","pdf",218519,"English","# Overview\n# Background\n# Purpose","[{\"question\":\"What is the Expanded General Ability Index (EGAI) and how does it relate to WISC–V?\",\"answer\":\"The EGAI is a new ancillary WISC–V index score.
