Abstract
The McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test were individually administered to 41 kindergarten-aged children. Correlations and mean comparisons of the two instruments were reported. The Peabody correlated significantly with the Verbal scale ( r = .536), the General Cognitive Index ( r = .473), and the Memory scale ( r = .354). There were no significant differences between the Peabody and the General Cognitive Index. Implications for the use of the two tests were discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
