Comparison of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised for a Referred Population

Comparisons were made between the PPVT-R and WISC-R with 32 elementary school-aged students referred for learning disabilities and emotional disturbance. Significant differences were noted between the mean revised Peabody standard score and each of the three Wechsler intelligence quotients. Significant correlations were found for all comparisons.
