Abstract

Association values, in terms of percentage of Ss who responded “Yes,” for selected trigrams were obtained from children in grades 4–6 and from a residential school for the deaf. Correlations of from .83 to .87 were obtained between the values from children and the corresponding adult values from Archer for CVC trigrams, and of .88 between values from Witmer and from the children for a sample of 25 CCC trigrams. Reliability measures from the children were good. Values obtained from deaf children correlated .90 with those obtained from grades 4–5. Independent samples of normal children correlated .93 and .97 with each other, and a test-retest reliability group had an r of .99.
