Response to Maggiore's Criticisms of the Short Form ITPA

Abstract

This article is a response to on article by Maggiore entitled “Reliability of proposed short form of Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities” published in Exceptional Children (1978, 45, 198–206). Hammill and Newcomer present evidence to rebut Maggiore's essentially negative conclusions regarding the reliability of the short form test. They show that the short form test is reliable and statistically equivalent to the full Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities.
