How many points is awarded for a response that includes all correct pictures but in the wrong order for Picture Span Items 4-26?

• A. 2 points
• B. 0 points
• C. 1 point
• D. 3 points

Answer: (C)

In the Picture Span subtest of the WISC-V, scoring is designed to assess both the accuracy and the sequence of the responses regarding visual memory. For items 4-26, if a child includes all the correct pictures but presents them in the wrong order, they receive 1 point. This scoring reflects the understanding that while the child demonstrates recognition of the items, the sequence is a critical part of recalling the information accurately. Therefore, a response that meets the criteria of including all items correctly, despite being out of order, is still partially correct and merits a score of 1 point.
