Unique Features of the new CREVT-2

  • Full-color photographs are used in the Receptive Vocabulary Subtest.
  • Two equivalent forms are available.
  • All words tested are appropriate for children and adults.
  • All words are related to familiar, everyday concepts.
  • Characteristics of the 2,545 person normative sample relative to socioeconomic factors, gender, disability, and other critical variables are the same as those reported in the 2000 census and are therefore representative of the current U.S. population.
  • The norms have been stratified by age.
  • Studies showing the absence of gender, racial, linguistic, disability, and ethnic bias have been added.
  • Reliability coefficients are provided for subgroups (e.g., individuals with disabilities, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, gender groups) as well as for the entire normative sample.
  • Many new validity studies have been conducted; special attention has been devoted to showing that the test is valid for a wide variety of subgroups as well as for the general population.
  • Gender and ethnic factors have been considered; items are shown to be unbiased.
  • Each item on the test was reevaluated using both conventional item analyses to choose "good" items and the differential functioning analysis to find and eliminate potentially biased items.
  • The CREVT-2's age range has been extended to include adults; it is now for all people between the ages of 4-0 and 89-11.
  • Subtests are quick to administer and easy to score.

Receptive Vocabulary Subtest

The format for the 61-item Receptive Vocabulary Subtest is a variation of the familiar "point-to-the-picture-of-the-word-I-say" technique, featuring the unique use of thematic full-color photographs! The 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 (animals, transportation, occupations, clothing, food, personal grooming, tools, household appliances, recreation, and clerical materials). The themes represent concepts with which most people are familiar. Five to eight words are associated with each plate and the words are spread evenly from young children through adults. The examiner begins with Item 1 on the first plate and asks the person being tested a series of words, one at a time. After each word, the examinee selects from six photographs the one that best goes with the stimulus word. When the person misses two words in a row, the examiner introduces the next plate. The pictures used to give the Receptive Vocabulary Subtest are spiral-bound in a Photo Album Picture Book featuring laminated covers for ease of use and durability. Each plate is printed in full-color on heavy, varnish-sealed cover stock designed for frequent use. The high-quality color printing of the photographs won an Award of Excellence from the Printing Industries Association of Texas!

Expressive Vocabulary Subtest

The Expressive Vocabulary Subtest uses the "define-the-word-I-say" format-the most popular and precise way to measure expressive vocabulary. This format encourages and requires the individual to converse in detail about a particular stimulus word, making it ideal to measure expressive ability. The 25 items on this subtest pertain to the same 10 common themes used in the Receptive Vocabulary Subtest (i.e., animals, transportation, occupations, etc.) allowing for easy transition from subtest to subtest. The applications of basals and ceilings allow this test to be given quickly and make it appropriate for a wide age range.
