Improved Oral Test Scores through Delayed Response.

Meredith, Alan R.

Modern Language Journal, v62 n7 p321-27 Nov 1978, Nov78

Spanish students in four inner-city high schools were first tested for conceptual tempo and then given the Test of Oral Proficiency in Spanish (TOPS). It is concluded that speeded and timed tests not only allow impulsive examinees to answer too soon, but often pressure normally reflective examinees to respond impulsively. (EJS)
