S ummary . The anglicised version of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) was administered to 89 41⁄4‐year‐old children in Stoke‐on‐Trent. Factor analysis gave some support for the construct validity of McCarthy's General Cognitive, Perceptual‐Performance, Verbal and Motor Indexes. However, no support was found for Memory or Quantitative Indexes. These results are considered in the light of previous studies of the construct validity of the MSCA, and it is suggested that results from the Quantitative Scale, in particular, should be interpreted cautiously with children under the age of 5 years
