Variability Of Responses To A Test Of Morphology As A Function Of Mode Of Presentation

The purpose of this study was threefold: (1) to determine if any significant developmental differences existed between the performance of kindergarten students and first-grade students on the various subtests of the Florida Morphology Evaluation; (2) to determine if any significant differences existed between performance on the various subtests of the Florida Morphology Evaluation in response to three different manners of presentation -- spontaneous lexical words, spontaneous nonsense words, and modeled lexical words; (3) to determine if any significant differences existed between performance on the various subtests of the Florida Morphology Evaluation: a. Inflectional suffixes and Derivational affixes, b. Regular and Irregular Inflectional suffixes, c. Derivational prefixes and suffixes, d. Inflectional suffixes and Derivational affixes combined.
