While the PPVT is widely used with both typical (i.e., regular classroom students) and atypical (i.e., special class students such as retardates or cerebral palsied) children, there is a dearth of reliability data available for the typical group. (Authors)

While stepwise regression analyses revealed that the demographic variables of sex, school ability, age, and father's occupation increased the power of prediction the LTIT alone was judged to be a valid predictor of academic achievement. (Author)
