CREVT-3

Receptive Vocabulary

This 76-item subtest is a variation of the familiar “point-to-the-picture-of-the-word-I-say” technique. This subtest is made up of 10 plates, each of which comprises six pictures. All of the pictures on a plate relate to a particular theme. Five to eight words are associated with each plate. The examiner begins with Item 1 on the first plate and asks the person being tested a series of words. After each word, the examinee selects one that best goes with the stimulus word.

Expressive Vocabulary

This subtests uses the “define-the-word-I-say” format, which requires the individual to converse in detail about a particular stimulus word. The 29 items pertain to the same 10 common themes used previously. The applications of basals and ceilings allow the subtest to be given quickly and make it appropriate for a wide age range.
