An Examination of the Concurrent Validity of the Battelle Developmental Inventory as Compared with the Vineland Adaptive Scales and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Johnson, Lawrence J.; And Others – Journal of Early Intervention, 1992
This study, involving 67 children (ages 2 to 60 months) with motor delays, found that the Battelle Developmental Inventory (BDI) possessed moderate to high levels of concurrent validity with appropriate subtests from the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development.

Convergent and Discriminant Validities of the Scales of Independent Behavior and the Revised Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales.
Middleton, Helene A.; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1990
Using 53 disabled children (age 3-7) as subjects, a correlation of .83 was found between the Scales of Independent Behavior-Broad Independence Score and the Revised Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-Adaptive Behavior Composite. The most valid subscales were Personal Living Skills, Communication Skills, and Community Living Skills. (Author/JDD)

An Examination of the Severe Impairment Battery as a Measure of Cognitive Decline in Clients with Down's Syndrome.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McKenzie, Karen; Harte, Cyan; Sinclair, Elaine; Matheson, Edith; Patrick, Shona; Murray, George C. – Journal of Learning Disabilities (United Kingdom), 2002
This study examined the validity of the Severe Impairment Battery (SIB) for measuring cognitive decline in clients with Down syndrome with 10 individuals showing behavioral decline on a standard measure and 14 individuals without such decline. On the SIB, the deteriorating group showed a significant decline between baseline and 12 and 24 months…

Intellectual and Adaptive Functioning: Some Tables for Interpreting the Vineland in Combination with Intelligence Tests.
Atkinson, Leslie – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1990
The article provides a set of tables with the differences necessary for statistical significance between the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and Bayley Scales of Infant Development, McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities, Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, and Wechsler scales. The tables are intended to supplement clinical decisions in…

Translation, Cultural Adjustment, and Validation of a Measure of Adaptive Behavior.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tombokan-Runtukahu, Juliana; Nitko, Anthony – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1992
This study delineated procedures for cross-cultural adaptation and operationalization of adaptive behavior in individuals with mental retardation, culturally adapted the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, and investigated the validity of the resulting instrument. The study concluded that the domain of adaptive behavior can be successfully applied…

Discriminant Validity of the Vineland Scales: Score Profiles of Individuals with Mental Retardation and a Specific Disorder.
Balboni, Giulia; Pedrabissi, Luigi; Molteni, Massimo; Villa, Susanna – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2001
Utility of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-Expanded Form to discriminate among areas of adaptive behavior was substantiated by comparing profiles of scores obtained by 113 individuals with mental retardation and either a communication, social behavior, or motor disorder. Results support the use of the Vineland Scales in ecological evaluation…
