5.4.2 The post test measures

5.4.2.1 The Production measures

5.4.2.1.1 Naming task

Scoring criteria for the naming task

Each child had to answer two questions. Each response was scored 1 for correct and 0 for
incorrect. To be scored correct, the response had to be the accurate production of the target
word. Any other response was scored as incorrect. Each child could get a score from 0-2.
An error analysis was also carried out.

Analysis

If all children (192 participants) were correct on all target words (2 items), the maximum
total score would be 384 responses for all the participants in each post test. Figure 5.1 below
shows children’s performance on the naming task for both post tests. As the figure² shows,
more than half (183) of the children’s responses were correct (accurate naming) in the
immediate post test, while only one third (87) of the responses were correct during the
delayed post test.
