Experimental Literacy Assessment Battery (LAB).
Abstract
This report describes the development of a Literacy Assessment Battery (LAB) for determining the relative efficiency with which adults can comprehend language by reading or listening (called auding in the LAB). Development of the LAB included: the tryout with adults of two auding and reading tests designed for children; experimental studies of a decoding task involving simultaneous auding and reading; a calibration study to develop auding and reading passages of comparable difficulty; and a small-scale study to demonstrate how the experimental LAB might be normed and interpreted to make it an operational instrument.
