Abstract
In an earlier study, it was found that infant performance on the Gesell correlated better with performance on nonverbal than verbal cognitive skills up to the age of 5 years. Recently, the same 26 male middle-class Ss, now 12 years old, were retested with the WISC-R, WRAT, and PPVT. Performance on the Gesell was found to relate significantly to WISC-R Performance IQ and to a lesser extent to PPVT IQ, but did not relate to WISC-R Verbal IQ nor to performance on the WRAT. The results suggest that the Gesell has a better predictive validity for nonverbal than verbal cognitive skills.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
