Measuring Iconic-Symbolic Classification: It Doesn't MAP Out.

Abkarian, G. G.

Journal of Childhood Communication Disorders, v9 n2 p139-56 Spr-Sum 1986

Only 18 functioned at the symbolic level as defined by the protocols; revised instructions more frequently evoked the expected symbolic performance. (CB)
