The Application of Dynamic Methods to Language Assessment: A Nonbiased Procedure.
Pena, Elizabeth; And Others
Journal of Special Education, v26 n3 p269-80 Fall 1992
This study demonstrated the application of mediated learning experience to language assessment of primarily Puerto Rican and African-American children (n=50) in three Head Start classes. Results support the hypothesis that a task matching young children's socialization better differentiates between nondisabled and language-disordered children than a static standardized measure.
