Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive validity of the Miller Assessment for Preschoolers in a sample of children in Israel. 30 children (M age 7 yr., 8 mo.) were selected from a group of typical children registered in 4 Mother and Child Health Care Centers in central Israel; they were originally tested as preschoolers (M age 3 yr., 10 mo.) on this procedure. They were retested after an interval of 5 to 7 yr. on academically related tests. Correlations between the Total scores and most of the follow-up test scores indicate significant correspondence (.41-.70). Regression analysis indicated that visuomotor integration and handwriting accounted for 58% of the variance. These results contribute to the empirical evidence regarding the predictive abilities of this procedure and indicate its validity cross-culturally over an extended follow-up interval of 5 to 7 yr.
