Unusual KIDEVAL output for a young child - sample MLU of 100

[Nick Riches]

Hi

I'm getting unusual KIDEVAL output for a young child. It shows the sample MLU as 100. The standard deviation is NA based on 213 transcripts. This is data from a student I am supervising. I have quickly looked at her transcript and the procedure for running KIDEVAL and both of these seem to be okay. I was wondering if something had gone wrong with the standardisation? The child is on the young side (age band 1;6 to 1;11) and I was wondering if this might something to do with the odd result.

Unfortunately I am unable to upload the transcript due to confidentiality (we are quite strict about this, especially as it's a student assignment), but I have attached the KIDEVAL report.

Thanks and best wishes.

Nick

Dear Nick,

    Thanks for reporting this.  This was a bug that crept in just a few days ago.  Data was being shifted to the wrong column in the spreadsheet.  Leonid has fixed it now.  If you get a new version of CLAN from the web, the bug should be gone.

Hi Nick,

This is a bug. All cells in database results are shifted by one cell to the left. As you can see from file you have sent to us There are number results under "Custom_field". Those numbers should be one cell to the right. We have added an additional ID field and the database results were not shifted to the right accordingly.

Please get new CLAN from the web.

Leonid.
