Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-R)

AGES: CHILDREN PPVT AGE 4-5 or 10-11 YEARS

(CALLED BY PPVT-EXEC OF CHILD SUPPLEMENT.)

[IF NEEDED, READ TO MOTHER/GUARDIAN]

This section is designed to measure (Child Name)'s vocabulary. Children usually enjoy doing this. I tell (him/her) a word and (he/she) looks at four pictures and tells me which picture has the same meaning as the word I said.

CAPI CHECK: DETERMINE APPROPRIATE START POINT FOR PRACTICE ITEMS.

IS CHILD'S PPVT AGE . . .

4 YRS ? 5 YRS............................. (GO TO INSTRUCTION SCREEN 1)

10 YRS ? 11 YRS ........................ (GO TO INSTRUCTION SCREEN 2)

___________________________________________________________________________

INSTRUCTION SCREEN 1: (PPVT age 4-5 years)

PRACTICE A: GO TO TRAINING PLATE A AND SAY TO CHILD: I want you to look at some pictures with me. See all the pictures on the screen? (POINT TO EACH PICTURE.) I will say a word; then I want you to put your finger on the picture of the word I have said. If you are not sure, just tell me your best guess. Let's try one. Put your finger on the picture of doll. (See Screen Capture: Figure 20)

See, there are four pictures. Each of them is numbered (POINT). I will say a word; then I want you to tell me the number of, or point to, the picture that best tells the meaning of wheel. If you are not sure, tell me your best guess. PROCEED AS IN PRACTICE A.
