Abstract
The purpose of the study was to test the validity of the Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) as a screening instrument in the identification of children with learning disabilities. The SIT scores of 64 suburban second-graders referred as having learning problems were compared with their scores obtained on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC). The SIT scores correlated significantly with the WISC Verbal I.Q. (r=.64) but not with the Performance I.Q. (r=.10), suggesting that the SIT is essentially a measure of verbal intelligence for such subjects.
