dc.description.abstract© 2014 Casa do Psicologo. All rights reserved.The present study investigated the cognitive profiles of dyslexic adults on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III, Brazilian version). A total of 31 adults with dyslexia and 31 control readers who were matched by age and education level performed a phonological awareness and word reading test. They also completed the WAIS-III. The outcomes of the tests showed that dyslexics underperformed on Verbal IQ and the Picture Completion, Coding, Matrix Reasoning, Similarities, Letter-Number Sequencing, and Vocabulary subtests. No differences were found between groups in the index scores. The analysis of cognitive profiles showed that dyslexics had a lower Verbal IQ compared with Performance IQ. The index score analysis showed poorer skills in Working Memory than in Verbal Comprehension, and the best performance was observed in Perceptual Organization. These results show the importance of cognitive assessment in understanding the diffculties faced by adults with dyslexia.
