Abstract
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.
