Coding Subtest (WISC-V)

**Semantic type:** Intellectual Product

**Definition:** A visual, paper, and pencil task subtest of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children that requires the child to match numbers with symbols based on a "key" at the top of the page by drawing the correct symbol in the boxes provided. Coding measures visual processing speed, short-term visual memory, and the ability to shift the eyes efficiently back and forth between the "key" and the responses. This task requires fine motor skills (using a pencil) but does not require expressive language.
