Peer reviewedMay, Deborah – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1986
The relationships between the Gesell School Readiness Test and standarized achievement and intelligence measures were examined. Children were tested before kindergarten, at the end of kindergarten, and at the end of first grade. Correlation coefficients varied from grade to grade, but did not show a higher correlation between related measures.…

Peer reviewedSinger, Marc G.; And Others – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1983
Investigated the concurrent validity of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) subtests and three IQs compared to Wide Range Achievement Test standard scores, in 28 learning-disabled children. Analysis showed no significant correlations between WISC-R and WRAT scores, indicating a lack of concurrent validity on the WAIS-R. (WAS)

Peer reviewedBeck, Frances Wi; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1985
The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test Revised (PPVT-R) and the Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills (CTBS) (reading, mathematics, and language subtests) were administered to 61 elementary school students in semi-rural Louisiana. Moderate positive correlations were found between PPVT-R scores and all CTBS subtests except mathematics computation. (GDC)

Peer reviewedPrasse, David P.; Bracken, Bruce A. – Psychology in the Schools, 1981
Significant differences were found between the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised mean standard scores and Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs. The PPVT-R did not correlate significantly with the WISC-R scales or subtests, suggesting the tests are measuring different abilities. (Author)

Peer reviewedFeingold, Alan – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1982
Analyzed published data on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) to ascertain whether the Information and Vocabulary subtests can function as measures of intelligence. Concluded that the addition of more WAIS subtests will not result in any increase in predictive validity and these additional tests, therefore, lack incremental validity.…

Peer reviewedSattler, Jerome M.; Ryan, Joseph J. – Psychology in the Schools, 1981
Results indicate that the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) is a valid predictor of achievement for children referred for learning disabilities. The verbal Scale IQ, and the Freedom from Distractibility IQ proved especially useful predictors of academic achievement. (JAC)

Peer reviewedHoffman, Jeffrey D.; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1996
Compares the predictive and concurrent validities of a learning efficiency test with that of another test. Memory factor scores of the learning efficiency test correlated significantly with the other test's scores, with class grades, and with actual grade-level functioning in reading. The learning efficiency test's validity compares favorably to…

Peer reviewedBenedict, Ralph H. B.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1992
The concurrent validities of 3 short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) were compared for their prediction of full-scale IQ for 145 male and 159 female psychiatric inpatients. Results support previous research showing better predictive accuracy for L. C. Ward's (1990) seven-subtest short form than the others. (SLD)
