L. Blennerhassett et al., CRITERION-RELATED VALIDITY OF RAVENS PROGRESSIVE MATRICES WITH DEAF RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL STUDENTS, American annals of the deaf, 139(2), 1994, pp. 104-110
Criterion-related validity of Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM) was i
nvestigated using a sample of 107 deaf residential adolescents. Data c
ollection involved retrieval of psychoeducational test scores (RPM; WI
SC-R Performance IQ; VMI-R, Bender-Gestalt; and SAT-HI Reading Compreh
ension, Spelling, and Language) from student files. Concurrent validit
y between the Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) and WISC-R PIQ was e
stablished, with significant (p .001) correlations of .598 (ushig WISC
-R deaf norms) and .616 (using WISC-R hearing norms). Predictive valid
ity was supported by significant correlations between the SPM and SAT-
HI Reading Comprehension, Spelling, and Language scores.
