Abstract

The McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) was administered to 50 kindergarten-aged children to obtain General Cognitive Indices (GCI). A short form of the MSCA was developed by using a step-wise regression analysis to select the six subtests that best predicted the GCI. The potential use of such a short form for kindergarten screening was discussed.
