The performance of reading disabled 3rd to 6th graders on the Token test for children

Kihara, Jane J. 01 January 1986 (has links)
Many different versions of the original Token Test (De Renzi and Vignolo, 1962) have been available to speech language pathologists as a language assessment tool with various populations. The most recently adapted version of the Token Test is the Token Test for Children developed by DiSimoni (1978) as a measure to detect subtle receptive language abilities in children. The purpose of this study was to determine ii a significant difference existed between reading disabled and normal readers on syntactic and memory abilities on the Token Test for Children and if a difference existed between reading disabled students in grades 3 - 6 and dyslexic adolescents in grades 7 - 12 from the Whitehouse (1983) study.

Benämningsförmåga och språkförståelse hos äldre individer : Boston Naming test och Token test i en population 85-åringar / Naming ability and language comprehension in older individuals : Boston Naming test and Token test in a population of 85 year olds

Suljanovic, Sabina, Rydin, Maria January 2012 (has links)
Väl etablerade normativa data för äldre individer är av stor betydelse för att särskilja mellan normalt åldrande och tecken på demenssjukdom. Kortversioner av Boston Naming test och Token test ingår i screeningbatterier och används ofta vid neuropsykologiska undersökningar. Dock är befintliga normativa data för BNT30 och Token test begränsade vad gäller antalet individer över 80 år och inbegriper endast optimalt friska deltagare med hög utbildningsgrad. Denna tvärsnittsstudie inkluderar 213 kognitivt intakta 85-åringar. Syftet var att undersöka resultaten av benämningsförmåga och språkförståelse mätt med kortversioner av Boston Naming test (BNT30) och Token test (deltest V) samt att jämföra resultaten från denna studie med befintliga normativa data för BNT30 och Token test. Alla deltagare rekryterades ursprungligen till Linköping Screening Assessment (ELSA-85) projektet, en populationsbaserad studie med 85-åriga invånare i Linköping, Sverige. De resultat som erhållits i den aktuella studien avseende BNT30 (M = 24,71 ±3,13) och Token test (M = 4,88  ±1,05), visar på lägre resultat, med större variation, än vad som rapporteras i befintliga normativa data. Samband mellan demografiska variabler och prestation på testen undersöktes också. Data tyder på att utbildning och genus påverkar benämningsförmågan, mätt med BNT30. De normativa data från denna studie omfattar det hittills största urvalet individer över 80 år och är mer demografiskt varierade än i tidigare studier. Därför är de normer som denna studie presenterar mer representativa för kognitivt intakta 85-åringar. Dock ifrågasätter vi validiteten av den version av Token test som ingår i KSB (Kognitiva Screening Batteriet). / Well-established normative data for elderly adults is of great importance in order to distinguish between normal aging and signs of dementia. Short versions of Boston Naming test and Token test are included in screening batteries and frequently used in neuropsychological examinations. However, existing normative data for BNT30 and Token test include few individuals aged 80 years and above and are limited regarding to only include optimally healthy participants with high education level. This cross-sectional study includes 213 cognitively intact 85-year-olds. The aim was to examine their results of naming performance and language comprehension measured with short versions of Boston Naming test (BNT30) and Token test, subtest V, then to compare the results of the present study with existing normative data for BNT30 and Token test. All participants were initially recruited in the Elderly in Linköping Screening Assessment (ELSA-85) project, a population-based study of 85-year-old residents of Linköping, Sweden. The results obtained in the present study regarding BNT30 (M = 24.71 ±3.13) and Token test (M = 4.88 ±1.05), show lower test scores with greater variance than those reported in existing normative data. Association between demographic variables and performance on the tests was also examined. Data presented in the study revealed that education and gender influence naming performance measured with BNT30. The normative data gathered from this study includes the largest sample so far of individuals over the age of 80 and is more demographically diverse than in previous studies. Therefore the norms provided in this study are more representative for cognitively intact 85-year-olds. However, we question the validity of the version of Token test included in CAB (Cognitive Assessment Battery). / Elsa85
