Predictors of Verb-Mediated Anticipatory Eye Movements in the Visual World
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hintz, Florian; Meyer, Antje S.; Huettig, Falk – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
Many studies have demonstrated that listeners use information extracted from verbs to guide anticipatory eye movements to objects in the visual context that satisfy the selection restrictions of the verb. An important question is what underlies such verb-mediated anticipatory eye gaze. Based on empirical and theoretical suggestions, we…

Validity of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised with Mentally Retarded Adults.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Prout, H. Thompson; Schwartz, Julie Favreau – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1984
Administered the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised to mildly retarded adults (N=21). Results indicated that the revised Peabody tended to yield significantly lower estimates of functioning than did the other measures. (Author/LLL)

Investigations into the Relationship of the PPVT-R and the WISC-R with Incarcerated Delinquents.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rosso, Martin; And Others – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1984
Examined the relationship between the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R), the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) with incarcerated delinquents (N=35). Results indicated that the PPVT-R yielded a higher correlation with the WISC-R verbal IQ scores than did the PPVT.…

Intelligence Assessment of Language-Impaired Children by Means of Two Nonverbal Tests
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Spellacy, Frank; Black, F. William – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1972
An average of the two scores on the LIPS and PPVT provides an estimate of current IQ comparable to that which might be obtained by a WISC or S-B. (Authors/MB)

Performance of Bilingual and Monolingual Hispanic Children on the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised and the McCarthy Perceptual Performance Scale.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sattler, Jerome M.; Altes, Linda M. – Psychology in the Schools, 1984
Evaluated the receptive vocabulary ability and nonverbal cognitive ability of 20 Spanish-speaking and 11 bilingual Mexican-American preschool children. The children obtained significantly lower scores on the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised than on the Perceptual Performance Scale of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities. Bilingual…

Performance of Bilingual Mexican-American Children on Spanish and English Versions of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sattler, Jerome M.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1980
Performance was better for children above six years of age and better in Spanish than English. It is suggested that the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test never be used to assess the general intelligence of Mexican American children, because it likely underestimates their ability. (Author)

Testing Piaget's Theory of Probability Concept Development: A Bayesian Approach Using the Theory of Signal Detection.
Phillips, Gary W.; Grodsky, Milton – 1985
The decision making processes of children in a probabilistic environment were studied within the context of the theory of signal detection (TSD). The relationship between the age of the child and his ability to revise decision criteria was examined, as well as the appropriateness of TSD measures and methodology with children. It was hypothesized…
