Provided further validation of the Vane Kindergarten Test using the Stanford‐Binet as the criterion measure. Both the Binet and the Vane were administered to 90 low socioeconomic status Black Head Start children between the ages of 4 and 5.5 years. While an overall correlation of 0.65 was found between the measures, the Vane did not appear to discriminate sufficiently abilities among children below the age of 4.5. A substantial number of these children obtained zero scores on one or more of the three Vane subtests. It was suggested that a VKT basal effect may be manifested with low socioeconomic Black children at this age level. Additional analyses of test scores yielded no significant differences among S s for the variables age and sex.
