ROWPVT-4: Receptive One-Word Vocabulary Test - Fourth Edition

Ages: 2-0 through 80+
Testing time: 20 minutes
Administration: Individual

Test consists of 190 items presented in a developmental sequence (based on the 2010 normative sample) that reflects the concepts with which people currently have experience through home, school, or media. The expanded norms allow use of the test with adults in various diagnostic, rehabilitation, or therapeutic settings.

It can be used with persons who have experienced stroke, concussion, traumatic brain injury, or neurodegenerative disease (e.g., Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc.).

The examinee indicates (by pointing or saying) the correct color picture (out of four presented) that matches the word spoken by the examiner. Age-related starting points and ceilings (reached when the examinee makes a set number of consecutive errors) ensure that only a subset of items (the critical range) is administered.

Test is untimed and can be administered in about 20 minutes. Scoring is easy and straightforward, generally taking less than 5 minutes. Raw scores are reported as standard scores, percentile ranks, and (if necessary) age equivalents.

Complete kit includes Examiner's Manual, Test Plates, 25 Record Forms.
