Fuchs, Douglas; And Others

Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, v16 n4 p198-204 Jan 1984

Explored the effects of examiner familiarity, task complexity, and mode of response to the test performance of 79 speech and language impaired preschoolers who completed the Symbolic Mediation Test. Results showed children performed significantly better when tested by familiar examiners. Functioning did not depend on the task's complexity. (JAC)
