Prifitera, Weiss, and Saklofske (1998) stated that FDI is a misleading name for this construct because it encourages naive interpretations and may be better conceptualized as an index of working memory.

The GAI was primarily intended to be used as a reference anchor for the discrepancy model for specific learning disability identification in circumstances where the FSIQ was believed to be disproportionally influenced by underlying processing deficits in WM and PS.
“According to Prifitera et al. (1998) it was primarily intended to be used as a reference anchor for the discrepancy model for specific learning disability identification (LD/SLD) in circumstances where it was believed that the FSIQ was disproportionally influenced by underlying processing deficits in WM and PS.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
