Abstract
In this study, the relationship between preschoolers' performance on the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R) and the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities was examined. The sample of 15 3-yr.-olds and 15 4-yr.-olds was randomly selected from four nursery school classes. Scores on the Peabody correlated significantly with the General Cognitive Index, Verbal, and Perceptual scales of the McCarthy tests for the 3-yr.-olds; and with the Index, Verbal, Perceptual, and Motor scales for the 4-yr.-old group. For the 3-yr.-olds, t tests indicated a significantly lower Peabody mean score than the McCarthy mean score. Implications of using the revised Peabody test as a measure of general cognitive ability with normal preschoolers are discussed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
