Abstract
The McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) has been suggested as a potential device for early screening of children with learning difficulties. Two suggested MSCA short form tests combining six subtests, one selected by an a priori method and the other from a regression analysis method, were investigated using a sample of 41 Victorian children between the ages of two-and-a-half to eight-and-a-quarter years. A correlation of over .80 was obtained between the scores of the children on the full form of the MSCA and both short form tests. The advantages of the use of the a priori test over the test developed from the empirical method is discussed.
