Administered four screening instruments—Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test‐Form A (PPVT‐A), Riley Preschool Developmental Screening Inventory‐Designs (RPDD), Riley Make‐A‐Boy (RMB) and the McCarthy Scales of Children's Ability Designs (MSCD)—to 23 normal children with no evidence of neurological impairment and 23 neurologically impaired children under 6 years of age. The children were matched for age and sex and were from a day‐care program for working parents and a therapeutic preschool program, respectively. Significant differences were found between the two groups on all instruments. The highest positive correlation for the impaired group was between the PPVT‐A and the RPDD, while for the control group the highest positive correlation was between the RPDD and MSCD.
