title: Longitudinal validity of the Miller Assessment for Preschoolers: study II.
abstract: The classificational accuracy of the Miller Assessment for Preschoolers was examined in relation to intelligence and achievement measures assessed four years later. Specifically, the test's predictive validity was evaluated using the recommended 5% (Refer) and 25% cut-offs (Watch). The results' implications for decision strategies in research on validity for preschool screening instruments are discussed.
