Word Intelligibility by Picture Identification (WIPI)
(Ross and Lerman, 1979)
Recommended age: Minimum of 4 years
Description: This test is a closed-set discrimination task in which the child must
identify the stimulus word from a set of six pictures. Stimuli consist of four lists of 25
single-syllable words. Chance performance amounts to a score of
approximately 18%. This discrimination task is more difficult than the majority of
other closed set discrimination tasks in that the vocabulary level is higher and
the response choices differ in fine segmental information.
