iPad

Description:

This measure of receptive vocabulary is administered in a computer-adaptive format. The respondent is presented with a recorded voice saying a word and with four pictures on the computer screen; the participant is instructed to touch the picture that most closely shows the meaning of the word. The test should take 5-7 minutes; which words are presented will depend on the participant’s performance.

Administration Instructions: The opening instructions are read to the participants.

Practice Items:

As an introduction, the examiner should say:

“Let’s look at some pictures. You’ll hear a word and see four pictures on the screen. Touch the picture that means the same as the word that was said. Some words will be easy and some will be harder. Answer as best you can.

If you need to hear a word again, I can play it again.

If you think you made a mistake and want to change your last answer, I can bring back that word and pictures. Are you ready to play?”

If a participant has difficulty touching the screen, he/she may point and the examiner may operate the iPad. The examiner should say something like the following to the participant:  “You can point to your choice and then I will touch the screen for you.”

The examiner should touch the Touch-and-hold button to advance to the next screen.

Practice item 1:

The computer says: “Let’s try one for practice: Banana. Touch the picture of Banana.”

If correct, the computer says: “That’s right!” The computer will automatically go to the next practice item.

If incorrect, the Banana picture will light up and the computer will say: “This is a banana. Let’s try again.” The examiner should allow the child up to three chances to answer this practice item correctly. After three unsuccessful attempts by the participant, the examiner should touch the picture of the banana on the child’s screen and say: “This is a banana.” The computer will automatically go to the next practice item.

Practice item 2:

The computer says: “Let’s try another word: Spoon. Touch the picture of Spoon.”

If correct, the computer says: “That’s right!”

If incorrect, the Spoon picture will light up and the computer will say: “This is a spoon. Let’s try again.” The examiner should allow the participant up to three chances to correctly answer this practice item. After three unsuccessful attempts by the participant, the examiner should touch the picture of the spoon and say: “This is a spoon.”

Before going on, the examiner should review the task with the child, saying:

“Remember, you will hear a voice say a word and then you will see four pictures. One of the pictures will show what the word means. Touch the picture and you will hear a new word and see four more pictures. Again, touch the picture that shows what the word means. If you don’t know, make your best guess. Any questions?” The examiner should answer the questions.

Test items:

The examiner says: “Now, let’s try some more. Tell me when you are ready.” Examiner should touch the Touch-and-hold button to advance to the next screen.

The recording will say the words introduced with the following instructions: “Touch the picture of….” The items will continue in this format until the test is completed.
