In a Symbol Search assessment, what action follows a successful response?

In the Symbol Search assessment of the WISC-V, a successful response from the child indicates that they have correctly identified whether a target symbol is present in a set of symbols. Following this success, it is standard practice to proceed to a new item. This approach allows the assessment to continue progressing through its designed sequence, enabling the evaluator to gather more data on the child's processing speed and visual-motor coordination.

Continuing with new items after a correct response supports the overall functioning of the test, ensuring that it adequately measures the child's abilities across a variety of symbols and conditions. Each new item provides additional insight into the child’s cognitive processing, allowing for a more comprehensive evaluation.
