A form of criterion keying was used to examine alternative scales for cognitive development facilitation. Two cause indicator models linking the items of the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment-Short Form (HOME-SF) to the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test--Revised (PPVT--R) were hypothesized. The 1st model was based on all of the HOME-SF items, and the 2nd was based on the HOME-SF items comprising the Cognitive Stimulation scale of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Evaluation proceeded with data from 2 waves of children, under 3 yr. of age, assessed in the NLSY. The 2 proposed models were evaluated on the 1st wave of data using structural equation modeling. A 3rd model was then empirically developed by making modifications to improve model fit. The 3 models were reevaluated on the 2nd wave of data. The model developed empirically fit the 2nd wave of data relatively well. (PsycINFO Database Copyright 1996 American Psychological Assn., all rights reserved) |
