The McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities: Research Implications for the Assessment of Young Children.

Nagle, Richard J.

School Psychology Digest, v8 n3 p319-26 Sum 1979

Research supports the reliability and validity of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA); but its concurrent validity with conventional intelligence tests suggests that the McCarthy General Cognitive Index and Intelligence Quotient are not comparable. The MCSA eliminates certain weaknesses found in similar tests: the Stanford-Binet and the Weschler. (CP)
