Abstract

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale overestimated seriously the prevalance of retardation in 28 poverty-area kindergarten-age children. Statistically significant differences were found between the mean IQ scores on those two tests and Stanford-Binet IQs. Less severe differences obtained for 29 Ss enrolled in a poverty-area first-grade.
