How to Assess the Listening Comprehension Skills of Prereaders.
Daneman, Meredyth; and Blennerhassett, Adele
Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n6 p1372-81 Dec 1984
This paper proposes a method to measure and understand prereader listening comprehension skills. The listening span test taxes storage and processing functions of working memory. Used in two experiments with 44 preschoolers, this test had greater predictive and theoretical value than both the traditional word span measure and the age variable. (Author/BS)
