Comparative scores on two intelligence tests with mentally retarded children
Abstract
The intelligence of 25 White institutionalised mentally retarded children was assessed on the Old South African Individual Scale and on the Merrill Palmer Scale. These two tests have a verbal and a non-verbal bias respectively. No significant difference was found between means of the two tests for the sample. A significant correlation was found between the two sets of scores. This suggests an even distribution of verbal and non-verbal abilities in institutionalised retarded children.
