This study compared the performance of 18 elementary-age students with learning disabilities on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children. Correlations (corrected for restriction of range) between the two instruments were strong, r = .74, p < .001 for Test Composite/Mental Processing Composite and r = .85, p < .001 for Test Composite/Achievement.
