How many seconds are allotted for items 6-9 on BD?

For items 6-9 on the Block Design (BD) subtest of the WISC-V, a total of 75 seconds is allotted for each item. This time frame is specifically designed to assess how well a child can analyze visual patterns and manipulate blocks to create designs, reflecting spatial and visual-motor skills. The set time allows for an evaluation of both the child's ability to understand and reproduce designs quickly, which is crucial for measuring cognitive processing speed alongside their visual-spatial reasoning abilities.

Understanding the allotted time for these items is essential for interpreting a child's performance accurately, as it impacts how results relate to their overall cognitive profile.
