Positive Correlations

The Quick Test, Forms 1 and 3 and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test were administered to 94 children and youth (58 boys and 36 girls) who were referred to a clinic for suspected learning problems. Chronological ages for the sample ranged from 7–4 to 14–5, with a mean of 12–8. Analysis showed no significant differences between the means of the boys and girls on the scores of Quick Test 1 and 3. A pervasive pattern of strong positive correlations was found between the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and Quick Test, Forms 1 and 3; and between the two forms of the Quick Test. The findings indicate that the Quick Test provides a reasonable estimate of conventional verbal intelligence as well as being very stable even with populations whose intelligence test performance is often highly variable.

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.

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

Tests of verbal intelligence, operational thinking, and divergent thinking were administered to thirty Aboriginal and thirty disadvantaged European children living in Alice Springs, N.T., Australia. Scores from the three types of tests were correlated with each other to determine the relationship among them. Differences were sought between age ranges and ethnic groups on each of the three kinds of tests by means of t tests and analyses of variance. With the exception of the correlation between the Matrices Test and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, the correlations were similar to those reported previously. The t tests confirmed significant differences between the Aboriginal and European sample on the PPVT. However, there were no significant differences between the Aboriginal and European sample on any of the other tests.

Order Form

The present study sought to evaluate the usefulness of the Quick Test (QT) as a measure of intelligence in mentally retarded persons. Both the QT and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) were administered to 109 institutionalized retarded Ss, ranging in age from 10 to 57 yr. in the order Form B, A (PPVT), QT 1, 2, 3. An order of test effects was clear. The results suggested that, although the QT is effective with persons in the normal range of intelligence, it, as with the PPVT, should not be used alone to assess intelligence of mentally retarded persons.

The Test de Vocabulaire en Images (the French version of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test) and the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale were administered to 44 persons with mental retardation who were aged 6.8 yr. to 18.2 yr. Analysis indicated a significant influence of chronological age on the Test de Vocabulaire en Images Mental Age. This influence of chronological age probably explains why receptive vocabulary tests consistently overestimate the IQ of persons with mental retardation.

The Difference

72 8-yr.-old indigent children, equally divided according to race and sex, were administered Form A of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test via tape recorder, then randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions. Treatment 1 Ss received alternate Form B of the Peabody according to standard testing instructions. Treatment 2 children also received the alternative form, except each S was provided with immediate knowledge as to his accuracy on each test item. Treatment 3 was similar to that of Treatment 2, except the correct responses of children in this group were extrinsically rewarded according to a fixed ratio schedule. Analysis of variance of the difference scores yielded a significant effect for race but not for treatment.

Scores from three brief intellectual screening instruments were compared with WAIS IQs. The Quick Test, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, the Revised Beta, and the WAIS were administered to 70 clients of a vocational rehabilitation center. All IQ estimates from the brief measures correlated highly with WAIS IQs. The Quick Test and the Peabody significantly underestimated the WAIS Verbal IQ. No differences were found between any of the brief measures and the WAIS Performance Scale or Full Scale. The Quick Test showed the greatest agreement with the WAIS when clients were classified into categories of intelligence based on their test scores.

Standard Version

It has been our experience in using the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test that an inordinate number of verbs are missed by mentally retarded individuals. This study attempts to determine whether verb errors were due to a lack of word comprehension or a failure to understand what was being requested by the morphological-syntactic form of the stimulus. Twenty-eight subjects residing in a state facility for the mentally retarded were given a standard version and a modified version of the PPVT. On the modified version of the test, the stimulus "verbing" was altered to incorporate a syntactic helper, forming the stimulus "somebody verbing." As a result, there was a mean reduction of verb error by almost 50%.
