A study was conducted to further validate the "Watson-Barker Listening Test." The subjects, 120 students enrolled in basic speech courses, completed the Receiver Apprehension Test (RAT) and the Watson-Barker Listening Test: Form A. Statistical analysis of the results revealed a significant correlation between the RAT scores and both the long term memory and the total listening measures on the Watson-Barker test, but not between the RAT scores and the short term memory measure. The results only partially supported claims of validity for the Watson-Barker instrument. (HTH)
