A joint-factor analysis was conducted using three major scales of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities and eight Kaufman-ABC sub-tests as variables. Subjects were 90 children ages 4 to 8 1/2 yr. The screen test produced three significant factors, each interpretable from the Kaufman-ABC model. McCarthy Verbal scale was closely associated with the Achievement/Verbal factor; McCarthy Perceptual performance scale loaded highly on the Simultaneous Processing dimension; and McCarthy Quantitative was associated with all three factors. These results provide useful guidelines for interpreting a child's performance on each Index of the McCarthy scales in terms of the mental processing approach used to solve the task. However, the psychometric results must be coordinated with the examiner's clinical observations of the child's problem-solving strategies during administration of the McCarthy scales to understand more completely the processing demands of the Verbal, Perceptual performance, and Quantitative Scales.
使用麦卡锡儿童能力量表的三个主要量表和考夫曼儿童评估测验的八个分测验作为变量进行了联合因素分析。研究对象为90名4至8.5岁的儿童。筛选测试产生了三个显著因素，每个因素都可以从考夫曼儿童评估测验模型中进行解释。麦卡锡言语量表与成就/言语因素密切相关；麦卡锡感知表现量表在同时性加工维度上有较高的载荷；麦卡锡数量量表与所有三个因素都有关联。这些结果为根据解决任务所采用的心理加工方式来解释儿童在麦卡锡量表各指标上的表现提供了有用的指导。然而，心理测量结果必须与考官在实施麦卡锡量表过程中对儿童解决问题策略的临床观察相结合，以便更全面地理解言语、感知表现和数量量表的加工要求。
