The aim of this study was to compare the standard scores and age scores obtained from the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (1965) and the Revised Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (1981). The sample included 88 preschool children who ranged in age from 2–6 to 5–11. The mean PPVT IQ score was 98.9 ( SD = 16.9) and Mental Age was 55.2 months ( SD = 20.1 mo.); the mean PPVT‐R Standard Score Equivalent was 95.4 ( SD = 13.4) and Age Equivalent was 48.5 months ( SD = 14.6 mo.). The mean PPVT IQ and Mental Age scores were significantly higher ( p < .01) than the respective Standard Scores and Age Equivalents. Implications for the use of the Revised PPVT are discussed.
