An Early View into the EVT-3
Main Research Goals for EVT–3:
- Maintain the basic format of the EVT–2 (e.g., two parallel forms, items presented with a stimulus question, items presented with examples of correct and incorrect responses)
- Update normative data
- Provide digital applications that will maintain the basic qualities of the EVT–2 (e.g., ease of administration and response capture, brief administration time, accurate scoring)
- Refine items (for Form A and Form B) so that they (i.e., stimulus words, picture stimuli) may be applied to differing cultures within the US in the current day
- Include item analyses that provide assessment to intervention connections
Uses & Applications
Applications of EVT–3:
- Measure expressive vocabulary acquisition
- Contribute useful information when assessing expressive vocabulary, as part of a language evaluation, across the lifespan
- Contribute useful information when screening or assessing strengths and weaknesses in the specific domain of semantics (i.e., word knowledge) and general area of language development
- Directly compare receptive and expressive vocabulary when you also administer the PPVT-5
- Move immediately into evidence-based interventions using those embedded directly into and linked into the Q-global system
How Can I Buy EVT-3?
EVT-3 will be sold in paper/pencil and digital formats. Digital formats include:
- Digital scoring and reporting via the Q-global system
