Relation of the Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices to Two Measures of Verbal Ability in a Sample of Mildly Retarded Hospital Patients

Kent L. Kilburn, R. E. Sanderson, Kyle B. Melton

Abstract

100 mildly mentally retarded patients (50 male and 50 female) were given the Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, and the Vocabulary subtest from the Stanford-Binet, Form L-M. There were no significant correlations between the Raven and the other tests. A significant correlation of .70 obtained between the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and the Stanford-Binet Vocabulary subtest. Possible reasons for lack of the usual correlation of the Matrices with tests of verbal ability for this sample are discussed.
