The Role of Picture Perception in Children's Vocabulary Test

Abstract: Before test scores should be used for educational decision-making, it is important to determine the extent to which the test activates processes that are actually related to the skills it purports to measure. This study explored the role that picture perception plays in children's performance on the Word Knowledge subtest of the Gates MacGinitie Reading Test. Research has demonstrated that African American children have scored significantly lower than their European American peers on a receptive picture vocabulary test, but these studies did not use qualitative methods to explore the role picture interpretation plays in performance. To address limitations of previous picture vocabulary research, 128 second grade students from two predominantly African American school districts were randomly assigned to the following test conditions: a) Standard Administration Format. b) Think-Aloud. Students discussed how they selected answers. c) No-picture. Pictures were replaced with verbal definitions. d) Free Response. Students described the picture showed; no response choices were provided. These test conditions addressed three questions: a) Did performance differ as a function of test condition? b) Was syntactic class of the vocabulary items related to performance? c) What processes did children use to select their answers, especially for frequently missed items? Results revealed that overall, thinking aloud and the type of stim ulus (picture versus definition) was not related to performance. However, item-level analyses revealed 9 items in which performance differed based on stimulus type. For children in the standard and think-aloud conditions, performance was better on nouns and verbs than on adjectives, and performance on nouns and verbs was comparable. For the no-picture condition, performance was best on verbs and performance on nouns and adjectives was comparable. Think-alouds and free-responses revealed possible explanations for why students frequently missed some items, such as misinterpreting key elements of the picture, and choosing distracters. There was not sufficient evidence to conclude that the Word Knowledge subtest lacks substantive validity. However, error patterns revealed recommendations for test administration (e.g., use different prompts for each part of speech) and instruction (e.g., monitoring and cognitive flexibility) that could help to minimize errors related to picture perception skills.
