Use of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test with the educationally handicapped

Comparison of Scores Obtained on the PPVT and the PPVT-R

“…Most notably, many researchers do not reco~mend the PPVT be used as a measure of intelligence (Piers, 1965;DiLorenzo and Brady, 1968;Matheny, 1971;Ritter, Duffey and Fischman, 1974;Covin, 1977;Darley and Spriestersbach, 1978;Emerick and Hatten, 1979 Discrepancies have been noted between the PPVT 1.Q. scores and other standard intelligence test scores when using exceptional populations (Rosen berg and Stroud, 1966;Milgram and Ozer, 1967;Fitzgerald, Pasewark, and Gloeckler, 1970;Matheny, 1971;Genseme, Walker and Cadman, 1976;Groden, Branson and Mann, 1976).…”

“…Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised ( WISC-R) 1.Q. 's (Fitzgerald et al, 1970;Genseme et al, 1976). Genseme et al 0976) believed this discrepancy would exist if in fact the PPVT assessed a different type of intellectual functioning than the WISC or the WISC-R. Groden et al 0976), in a study of intellectually .…”

Comparison of two receptive language tests (PPVT and TACL) used with the developmentally delayed

“…Sattler (1974) stated the PPVT tends to yield higher intelligence quotients for mentally retarded groups than those obtained from the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale form L-M, (SB-LM). Fitzgerald, Pasewark, and Gloeckler (1970) further reported the PPVT overestimated the full scale IQ of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) in all but two of the twenty-two studies he reviewed comparing the WISC and PPVT with an educationally handicapped population. Supporting this view, Brown and Rice (1967), Burnett (1965), , Gensemer, Walker, and Cadman (1976), Pasewark, Fitzgerald, and Gloeckler (1971), Sattler and Anderson (1973), Silberberg and Feldt (1966), Throne, Kaspar, and Schulman (1965), Yells and Pedrini (1967), and Zunich and Tolley (1968) reported the PPVT IQ or mental 9 age to be significantly higher than the similar WISC or Stanford-Binet scores.…”

Neuropsychological constructs of the PPVT with learning‐disabled children: Printed stimulus card versus oral administration

“…Children with learning disorders typically score higher on the PPVT than on the Wechsler intelligence scales (Fitzgerald, Pasewark, & Gloeckler, 1970;Gensemer, Walker, & Cadman, 1976;Hodapp & Hodapp, 1980). In one early study, Allen and Jones (1964) found that the disparity between the PPVT score and the Full Scale Wechsler IQ was related to the extent of the child's visual and perceptual deficits.…”
