Purpose: The present work describes how vocabulary ability as assessed by 3 different forms of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT; Dunn & Dunn, 1997) can be placed on a common latent metric through item response theory (IRT) modeling, by which valid comparisons of ability between samples or over time can then be made.
Results: The test forms each covered approximately 3 SDs of vocabulary ability with high reliability. Some differences between item sets in item difficulty and discrimination were found between the PPVT-3 Forms A and B.
Conclusions: Comparable estimates of vocabulary ability obtained from different test forms can be created through IRT modeling. The authors have also written a freely available SAS program that uses the obtained item parameters to provide IRT ability estimates given item responses to any of the 3 forms. This scoring resource will allow others with existing PPVT data to benefit from this work as well.
This article examines whether changes in the ethnic minority composition of the standardization sample for the latest edition of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-III, Dunn & Dunn, 1997) can be used as the sole explanation for children's better test scores when compared to an earlier edition, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R, Dunn & Dunn, 1981). Results from a comparative analysis of these two test editions suggest that other factors may explain improved performances. Among these factors are the number of words and age levels sampled, the types of words and pictures used, and characteristics of the standardization sample other than its ethnic minority composition. This analysis also raises questions regarding the usefulness of converting scores from one edition to the other and the type of criteria that could be used to evaluate whether the PPVT-III is an unbiased test of vocabulary for children from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
A receptive vocabulary size test using picture choices and oral and written cues designed for pre-literate or literate native speakers and non-native speakers of English. The 20,000 level version can be used with native-speakers of any age. The test was created in collaboration with Paul Nation of Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. Remember to download BOTH the main program and one or more test sets.
The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test Fifth Edition (PPVT-5; Dunn, 2018) is an individually-administered, norm-referenced measure of receptive vocabulary for use with individuals ages 2 years, 6 months to 90 years and older. It is co-normed with the Expressive Vocabulary Test- Third Edition (EVT-3).
The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test Fifth Edition (PPVT-5; Dunn, 2018) is an individually-administered, norm-referenced measure of a receptive vocabulary based on words in Standard American English. The test can be used with individuals ages 2 years, 6 months through 90 years and older. It measures receptive vocabulary acquisition and can contribute useful information when assessing receptive vocabulary, as part of a language evaluation, across the lifespan. Growth Scale Values (GSVs) provide an objective score for measuring changes in performance over time. It can be used as a screening measure or assessing strengths and weaknesses in the specific domain of semantics (i.e., word knowledge) and general area of language development. Because it is co-normed with the Expressive Vocabulary Test- Third Edition (EVT-3), PPVT-5 scores can be directly compared. In addition to multiple scores, qualitative analyses are also available, which include home versus school vocabulary; vocabulary by part of speech; three tier model of vocabulary; science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) vocabulary; and crossover vocabulary (PPVT-5/EVT-3). Compared with its predecessor, PPVT-5 offers updated norms and refined digital applications. The PPVT-5 can be administered digitally or in paper-pencil format, and it can be scored using the Q-global Scoring and Reporting system or via manual scoring.
The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, the 2007 edition of which is known as the PPVT-IV, is an untimed test of receptive vocabulary for Standard American English and is intended to provide a quick estimate of the examinee's receptive vocabulary ability. It can be used with the Expressive Vocabulary Test-Second Edition (EVT-2) to make a direct comparison between the examinee's receptive and expressive vocabulary skills. The PPVT was developed in 1959 by special education specialists Lloyd M. Dunn and Leota M. Dunn. The current version lists L.M. Dunn and his son D.M. Dunn as authors.[1][2]
The test is given verbally and takes between twenty and thirty minutes to complete. No reading is required by the individual, and scoring is rapid. For its administration, the examiner presents a series of pictures to each person. There are four pictures to a page, and each is numbered. The examiner speaks a word describing one of the pictures and asks the individual to point to or say the number of the picture that the word describes. Item responses can also be made by multiple choice selection depending on the age of the person being tested. The total score can be converted to a percentile rank, mental age, or a standard deviation IQ score. Although desirable, no special training is required to properly administer and score the PPVT-IV. The test publisher recommends that anyone interpreting or explaining the test scores should have knowledge in psychological testing and statistics.
The PPVT-IV provides an estimate of the client's verbal intelligence and has been administered to groups who had reading or speech problems, had intellectual disability, or were emotionally withdrawn. Studies of earlier versions of the test suggested that it tended to underestimate full-scale IQ scores for both intellectually disabled and gifted test-takers. Because the manner of the individual's response to stimulus vocabulary is to point in any fashion to one of four pictures that best fits the stimulus work, these tests also apply to rehabilitation of individuals who have multiple physical impairments, but whose hearing and vision are intact. The PPVT-IV can also be used for assessing the English vocabulary of non-English-speaking individuals and assessing adult verbal ability.
Future PPVT e-assessment research could integrate the human nervous system with e-administration of the PPVT. The human nervous system e-assessment would involve assessment of the P300 (P3) wave event related potential (ERP) between visual picture test items and the picture word comparing and contrasting the correct pairing of the word and picture against incorrect pairing of words and pictures. Use of the PPVT with cognitive disabled individuals and their response to the P3 ERP waveform could be used as a measure for the efficacy of various treatments on cognitive function.
Delivered in a fully digital format, the Ortiz PVAT represents a new direction in fair and standardized receptive vocabulary assessment that allows any practitioner to make valid diagnostic and intervention decisions.
The Ortiz PVAT is individually administered. Four photographs depicting real world objects or scenes are presented on a computer screen: one image illustrates the target word and the other three serve as distractors. The target word is presented in a pre-recorded audio format and the examinee indicates the meaning of the presented word by selecting the picture that best illustrates the object, action, or concept of the target word.
The Expressive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test, 4th Edition (EOWPVT-4) now features norms through geriatric ages (80+). The EOWPVT-4 is an individually administered, norm-referenced assessment of how well persons age 2 years 0 months to over 80 years can name (in English) the objects, actions, or concepts presented in full-colour pictures. The EOWPVT-4 features additional items for younger children, as well as items applicable to older adults.
The test now 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. The EOWPVT-4 has been co-normed with the ROWPVT-4 to provide a comprehensive assessment of expressive and receptive vocabulary.
Colour pictures are presented singly to the examinee, who is asked to name what is shown. The EOWPVT-4 retains the use of prompts and cues (shown on the Record Form) to ensure that examinees will attend to the relevant aspects of each illustration. 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.
