The relationship between the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test‐Revised (PPVT‐R) and the McCarthy Screening Test (MST) was investigated with a sample of 39 Caucasian children from a semirural, Northeastern Ohio school district. The sample consisted of 23 males and 16 females, whose mean age was 62.3 months. Pearson product moment correlations were obtained between the measures, and correlated t ‐tests were completed. All of the subtests of the MST, excluding Numerical Memory and Leg Coordination, correlated positively and significantly with the PPVT‐R. Discussion regarding the relationship found between the MST and the PPVT‐R and that previously found between the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) and the PPVT‐R is presented.
