Correlations between Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III and Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised

Abstract

The WISC-III and Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (Form M) were given to 84 students ranging in age from 6 to 16 years (M = 9.7 yr.; SD = 2.3 yr.). Correlations of .50 to .65 were found between the scores of the two tests with the exception of WISC-III Processing Speed and PPVT-R (.33). Differences between the means of the WISC-III scales and PPVT-R were not significant except for WISC-III Processing Speed and PPVT-R.
