Factorial Composition

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test was administered to 354 Head Start children with a mean age of 4.4 yr. and a mean PPVT IQ of 75.73. A principal components analysis suggested an interpretation of a general factor of receptive vocabulary ability. Seven other factors with eigenvalues greater than one were found. These two were interpreted as possibly being named nouns and progressive verbs. Not ruled out, however, is their being due to error and specific item variance.

Culturally Disadvantaged

Responses to 3 brief intelligence tests, the Slosson Intelligence Test, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, and the Draw-A-Man Test, were compared with scores on the Stanford-Binet from 29 Head Start children. Correlations with the S-B ranged from .79 to .64. The Slosson was judged the best brief substitute for the S-B in that it correlated .79 with the S-B and its mean IQ was virtually the same as the S-B mean.

Alternate Form Reliability

This study examined the comparability of Forms L and M of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised for 30 rural predominantly black Head Start children. Pearson product-moment correlations between Forms L and M ranged from .58 to .75 for boys, girls, and total group. t tests indicated no significant differences in mean standard scores between the forms. The 15 girls, however, scored significantly higher than the 15 boys on Form L.

Individual Achievement

The predictive validity of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised was examined for a sample of 33 Navajo children in Grades 1 to 6. Test scores correlated .65 and significantly with scores obtained 10½ mo. later on the Peabody Individual Achievement Test Total score. Implications for interpretation are discussed.

Structural Aspects

This study investigated the generalized effects of a language intervention program on the structural aspects of 8 language-delayed preschool children's productive language. Subjects were observed in preschool free play for periods ranging from 12 to 24 months concurrent with receiving daily didactic language intervention. A total of 57 two-, three-, and four-word syntactic forms were taught to criterion. Generalized usage was determined from (verbatim) language samples collected during free play periods in the subjects' classroom. Forty-two (74%) of the treated forms generalized to the subjects' spontaneous language in free play. There was a relationship between the complexity and potential functions of the treated forms and their generalization to free play. This effect may have been related to the subjects' MLUs. Substantial changes also occurred in the subjects' MLUs, frequency of speaking, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test scores, and Houston Test for Language Development scores over the period of instruction. These measures suggested that 4 of the 8 subjects were functioning near the normal range at the conclusion of treatment. Implications of these and other results are discussed.

Substandard Performance

Two groups of preschool Negro children of poor parents were administered the PPVT, SB and other linguistic and perceptual-motor measures. Since the PPVT score was consistently lower than the SB, it was concluded that this test may be more susceptible to environmental impoverishment than the SB. Substandard performance on the PPVT was discussed in terms of (a) a cumulative deficiency in storage and/or retrieval of verbal terms and (b) an inefficiency in sustaining the correct mental set required in the multiple-choice format of the PPVT.
