Abstract

The relationships between the Achievement, Intellectual Screening, and Development scales from the Personality Inventory for Children (PIC) and a comprehensive neuropsychological battery were examined in a sample of 49 children with histories of behavioral problems, learning problems, or both but without known neurological impairments or pervasive developmental disorders. Using stepwise multiple regression, the PIC scales predicted global neuropsychological functions moderately well, particularly verbal IQ and achievement. More specific neuropsychological functions were not significantly predicted. The Developmental scale from the PIC consistently outperformed the other two PIC "cognitive-triad" scales, and the latter made no statistically significant additional contribution in predicting neuropsychological functions after the contribution of the Development scale was taken into account.
