Explored the relationship between the Revised Peabody Picture Vocabulary test (PPVT‐R) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children‐Revised (WISC‐R) for a sample of 38 mentally retarded children between the ages of 5–5 to 12–7. The PPVT‐R correlated significantly with the WISC‐R Verbal (.58), Performance (.48) and Full Scale (.59) IQ scores. There was no significant difference between the mean PPVT‐R Standard Score Equivalent (59.9) and the mean WISC‐R Verbal (59.5), Performance (62.4), or Full Scale (57.7) IQ scores. Implications of these findings for the use of the PPVT‐R are discussed.
