Disadvantaged Preschoolers

A group of 78 disadvantaged preschoolers was given the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT). Despite the significant correlations between the WISC and PPVT IQ scores, comparison of the scores for each child showed little agreement on gross classifications of intelligence. In general, the PPVT IQ scores tended to underestimate the Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQ scores of the WISC and to overestimate the incidence of mental retardation. It was concluded that testing young children with the PPVT as the measure of intelligence is of dubious value for research and clinical applications.

Relationship Of

Comparisons of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised were made with 104 children diagnosed as learning disabled and mentally retarded. Significant but modest correlations were found between all but one of the WISC—R scaled scores (i.e., Coding) and PPVT—R standard scores, and between WISC—R IQs and PPVT—R standard scores. Significant differences were found among mean Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs and mean PPVT—R standard scores. The PPVT—R standard scores underestimated WISC—R Verbal IQs by 7 points, WISC—R Performance IQs by 17 points, and WISC—R Full Scale IQs by 11 points.

To determine the equivalence and relationship of Peabody and WISC scores in a retarded population, 49 students in a class for the educable retarded were tested. The Peabody IQ consistently over-estimated WISC Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs. Intercorrelations between IQs from the two tests were disappointingly low. A more cautious approach to use of the Peabody as a “substitute” measure for the WISC is suggested.

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised, Form L was compared with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised with a sample of 32 mild/moderate handicapped students (24 boys, 8 girls). Significant correlations were found between the WISC—R Full Scale IQ (.46) and the WISC—R Verbal IQ (.50) and the PPVT—R, but no significant correlation was found between the WISC—R Performance IQ and the PPVT—R (.34). Mean scores on the PPVT—R and WISC—R were significantly different.

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—III and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised were given to 33 children (15 boys, 18 girls) who were enrolled in Grades 3, 4, and 5. The statistically significant correlations of .75, .76, and .60, respectively, between the Peabody Standard Score Equivalents and the Wechsler Vocabulary subtest scaled scores and the Wechsler Verbal and Full Scale IQs suggest that the Peabody appears to be a satisfactory screening test of intelligence for use with children in these grades.

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale overestimated seriously the prevalance of retardation in 28 poverty-area kindergarten-age children. Statistically significant differences were found between the mean IQ scores on those two tests and Stanford-Binet IQs. Less severe differences obtained for 29 Ss enrolled in a poverty-area first-grade.

And Performance

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test were administered to 159 socio-economically deprived Negro adolescents who had been placed in a special educational setting. Ages ranged from 12 to 15 yr., with a mean age of 138 yr. The Wechsler mean Full Scale IQ was 72.4 with a standard deviation of 9.8. Analyses yielded no significant differences between the Verbal and Performance sections of the Wechsler scale and there were no distinctive Wechsler subtest profiles discernible. Inter-correlations of the Wechsler subtests were similar to those reported in the Wechsler manual. While the obtained mean Peabody IQ closely approximated the mean Wechsler IQ, intercorrelations between the Peabody IQ and the Wechsler Full Scale, the Wechsler Verbal, and the Wechsler Performance IQs were relatively low. A statistical test showed a clear cumulative age deficit.

The hypothesis that 20 young children from a middle-SES school would score higher in verbal intelligence assessed by the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test than 20 young children from a low-SES school was not supported. Data showed that racial differences existed in the verbal intelligence of these kindergarteners in a school undergoing racial integration. This finding deserves consideration in programs of rapidly integrating schools and neighborhoods.

The Relationship

The present study was an attempt at replicating and extending previous findings regarding the development of the concept of death in children. Age, death concept development, general cognitive development, and background/experience variables were investigated with respect to their roles in death concept development. Thirty-two children between six and twelve years of age were given the Derry Death Concept Scale, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, and selected subtests from the Wechter Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. Correlations indicated that level of death concept development was related to age and verbal-conceptual mental development. Socioeconomic status and death-related experience did not significantly affect death concept level, nor did gender or separation experience. There were insufficient data to investigate separation effects. Findings from the present study were discussed with respect to their implications for future inquiry.

Comparisons were made between the PPVT-R and WISC-R with 59 school-aged students (25 females, 34 males) referred for academic underachievement. Pearson product moments (r) and related t-tests were employed in the data analysis. The sample ranged in age from 6-2 to 15-5, with a mean age of 10-1, and SD=2.8. There were no significant differences between PPVT-R standard scores and WISC-R IQs. PPVT-R scores correlated significantly (p<.001) with WISC-R Verbal subtest scores. Implications of these findings for the use of the PPVT-R are discussed.
