Individual Differences in Script Reports: Implications for Language Assessment.

Ross, Barbara L.; Berg, Cynthia A.

Topics in Language Disorders, v10 n3 p30-44 Jun 1990

This article demonstrates how individual differences in scripts are found in verbal reports of everyday activities as well as memory for new events, those commonly used in language placement. It is concluded from previous research that in any assessment not actively discouraging idiosyncrasies individual differences will naturally result. (PB)
