ABSTRACT
The validity and reliability of the modified version of the Mini-Mental State Examination with children was examined. The Modified Mini-Mental State Examination was administered to 99 children between 4 and 12 years of age (45 males and 54 females) to assess expected scores for nonclinical children and with a clinical sample. Concurrent validity was assessed through correlations of Modified Mini-Mental State Examination scores with Wechsler Intelligence scores and Child Behavior Checklist scores. The Modified Mini-Mental State Examination was administered to 26 children on two occasions to determine test-retest reliability. Means and standard deviations of scores are reported by age and grade level. Test-retest reliability coefficients were positively significant. For the nonclinical sample, Modified Mini-Mental State Examination scores were significantly and positively correlated with Verbal IQ and Child Behavior Checklist scores. Modified Mini-Mental State Examination scores were significantly correlated with Verbal IQ scores in the total and clinical samples.
