Concurrent validity between the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale and the McCarthy scales.
The correlation between scores on the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale and on the McCarthy scales was calculated for 68 kindergarten children from three nursery schools in a lower-class urban area. Analysis indicated significant correlations for the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale with Perceptual-Performance, Quantitative, Motor Scales and General Cognitive Index and negligible values (.14 to .15) between Columbia scale and McCarthy Verbal and Memory subscales. The implications are discussed.
