Summary
Accommodation
Students participated in one of three testing conditions: 1) standard presentation (direct pointing), 2) computer presentation-trackball, or 3) computer presentation-automated scanning.
Participants
Seventy-two (72) children without reported disabilities participated. Participants ranged in age from 4 years to 8 years, 11 months. Participants were recruited from pre-schools, private schools, advertisements, and personal contacts, from a local area within Ontario, Canada.
Dependent Variable
Performance on the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R) served as the dependent variable in this study.
Findings
No differences in performance were evident across conditions. The adapted response formats were considered to constitute statistically equivalent forms of the PPVT-R.
