Linguistic Processing Measures

This test was designed to assess phonological abilities and varies with regard to the syllable complexity.

The test has two parts. The quasi-universal part combines typologically well-attested vowels and consonants to syllables of different complexities. The language-specific part adds language-specific syllable configurations. To minimise demands on memory, nonwords are no longer than three syllables. Recordings are available at least 6 languages.

CLT are picture-choice and picture-naming tasks aimed at assessing the comprehension and production of nouns and verbs via four subtasks. Each of the four subtasks consists of 32 items. Typically CLT are used in studies of multilingual and monolingual children aged between 3 and 7 years.  Currently available in 36 languages. Contact individual researchers.

Developed for Canadian English  and Syrian Arabic with norm referencing provided for children 6-12 years of age with 4-40 months of exposure to English. (Blom et al., 2021; Soto-Corominas et al., 2021) 

Developed for English, Spanish, and Mandarin linguistic systems with dynamic assessment scoring sheets. (Dollaghan & Campbell, 1998; Gutierrez-Clellen & Simon-Cerejido, 2010; Kohnert, 2008)

Celeste Roseberry-McKibbin demonstrates the use of non-word repetition to assess the information processing skills of a student with a potential language impairment. This task tests working memory, an area that is traditionally deficient in students with language impairment.
