Examined the concurrent validity of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R) and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Childen (K-ABC) with 47 students referred for learning difficulties. Data analysis indicated that the K-ABC Achievement global scale was the only significant predictor of the PPVT-R. Implications for practitioners are…

Administered the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (Revised) and reading, mathematics, and written-language subtests of the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Test Battery to 28 regular education and learning disabled students. Except for correlations between form M and the reading and written-language subtests for the LD group, values did not…

This study suggests that the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and the Slosson Intelligence Test measure different and limited aspects of a child's ability and are only rough estimates of his/her capability of what is generally termed intelligence. Scores from either should be interpreted with care and in light of other information about a child.…

Results show that Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) IQs are not interchangeable with Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) IQs in a sample of reading disabled children. The PPVT yielded higher IQs on the average than did the WISC-R, supporting results obtained with learning disabled students. (Author/BEF)

PPVT and WISC-R scores were compared for students ranging in age from 6 to 16. In descending order, Pearson product correlations ranked best for the total sample, emotionally disabled, regular class, mentally retarded, and learning disabled. The PPCT overestimated ability. (Author)

Examined the concurrent validity of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) in a sample of 101 students aged 6 to 16, referred for learning, mental or emotional disabilities. Results showed significant correlations between the PPVT-R and the WISC-R overall sample. (JAC)
