Performance of Bilingual Mexican-American Children on Spanish and English Versions of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test.

Sattler, Jerome M.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v48 n6 p782-84 Dec 1980

Performance was better for children above six years of age and better in Spanish than English. It is suggested that the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test never be used to assess the general intelligence of Mexican American children, because it likely underestimates their ability. (Author)
