PPVT

PPVT - Form B (Receptive)
Form A & Form B... depending on the test kit you have... make sure you have the right form/kit...

Input ID info...
Chron age - years/months... you can add a 3rd line (day), esp. if you have to borrow from months...

Plot SS on line on cover page of protocol...as well as %ile, CI...
Cx just points...
On back they allow you to compare vocab over time..typically a test is re-admin after 1 year...

You don't need to fill out # of nouns vs other parts of speech, but this test helps with that..

Diff bw PPVT & EOWPVT - PPVT talks about a set...

Page 3 - 1-12 = set we're keeping track of sets...
Complete set rule: depending on how old they r is the set 2;6 to 90;0
- BASAL rule = 1 or 0 wrong of set and you continue testing forward until they miss 8 in a set
-- if in the first set, they get 2 wrong, you finish entire set, then go back to previous set until they get 1 or 0 wrong in set...
-- then move on the following (new) complete set

- Ceiling is reached where 8 errors+ in a set, but if they miss 1st 8, I still need to complete whole (12 prompts) set.

PROMPTS: U typically don't use an "article" Show me 'candy'" or w/younger children you may need to establish like "touch"... older kids can tell you the #...
Give directions first, use trial items b4 going onto starting pt test... ALWAYS start from TOP of set.... it's ok to refocus child who perservates, say only points to 'top right'...


Put slash "/" thru errors
Write # of errors... subtract from ceiling item.
