b. score Susan’s first response, ignoring her self-correction attempt.
c. query Susan as to which response is her intended response.

have discontinued, the examiner should:

Si el niño provee múltiples respuestas espontáneamente de diferentes valores (1 pt. y 2pts.) a un reactivo y se autocorrige luego de su
primera respuesta incorrecta, puntúe solo la respuesta intencionada. Si no está claro cuál es la respuesta intencionada, diga: “Dijiste____
y dijiste ____. ¿Cuál quieres decir?” Puntúe la respuesta intencionada. Sólo si el niño ofrece una respuesta de 2pts primero y luego de 1pt.,
discrimine si la intención fue para aclarar la respuesta y puntúe la de mayor valor. pp. 35-36 Manual WISC-IV Spanish
