Brooks, Clarence Rae – Psychology in the Schools, 1977
Children (N=30) ages 6-10 were selected who had been referred for psychological evaluation from the public schools. WISC-R was significantly lower than WISC FS IQ's and similar to S-B L&M IQ's. The use of the WISC-R over the WISC will result in greater numbers of children being classified as retarded. (Author)

The validity of the SIT was investigated with 50 public school children in Grades 1 through 4; the WISC-R served as the congruent validating criterion. The SIT correlated significantly with the WISC-R and overestimated the WISC-R IQs. Statistical data for sexual and racial stratifications were also given. (Author)

Covin, Theron M. – Journal of School Psychology, 1977
The results of the present study suggested that PPVT and SIT IQs are not directly comparable to the WISC-R IQs when the moderate to low correlation coefficents are considered. In addition, the SIT appears to be more comparable to the WISC-R than does either Form A or Form B of the PPVT. (Author)

Covin, Theron M. – Psychology in the Schools, 1976
Using Otis-Lennon Mental Ability Test, Elementary II Level and WISC Verbal Performance and Full Scale IQs of 40 white children, correlations of .71, .57 and .73, respectively, were computed. Results suggest IQs and should be interpreted with caution when used as criterion for identifying mentally retarded white children. (Author)
