“…The series of t tests on the 11 I ITPA variables suggested that the QBD children performed especially poorly on visual cognitive tasks. Similar findings were reported in studies of prematurely born children (Phillips 1968, Taub et al 1977, children with a history of neonatal anoxia or cyanosis (Lievens 1974), and children with learning disabilities subsequent to hospitalization for viral encephalitis (Sabatino & Cramblatt 1969).…”

The Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA) was administered to 15 children with learning difficulties, ranging from 6 through 8 years of age, who had questionable brain disorder as a result of a history of a serious illness or trauma involving possible brain injury. A comparable group of 15 children with learning difficulties but with no such history of possible brain disorder was employed. Results of t tests revealed that the performance of young children with questionable brain disorders was inferior to those of young children with no brain disorder on all 11 ITPA subtests. The effects of brain disorder on visually mediated functions are discussed along with previous similar and conflicting data.

“…Although a revised version of the test is now available (Kirk et al, 1968), it is likely that, for a variety of reasons, the experimental edition will continue to be used in Britain for some time. It is surprising, therefore, that only one British study reporting findings with the experimental version has been published so far (Phillips, 1968). The need for a British standardisation, or at least for normative data on a sample of British children, has been stressed by Phillips, particularly in view of the small number of children used in the USA standardisation sample (25 boys and 25 girls at each six-month interval).…”

Summary. The Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA) was administered to 100 4‐year‐old nursery school children. Although the sample is biased by the inclusion of a disproportionate number of middle‐class children, the scores corresponded closely to those of the American standardisation sample of the same age. Discriminant function analysis indicated a strong relationship between ITPA performance and social class, particularly in the auditory‐vocal channels. Reliability, estimated by internal consistency and standard error, was acceptably high. Examination of subtest intercorrelations by principal components analysis and Varimax rotation indicated that a general linguistic factor accounted for about 45 per cent of the variance. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to the use of the ITPA for the construction of remedial programmes for handicapped children.

“…The Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities was administered to each subject. Certain modifications of the test were introduced as suggested by Phillips 18 , who reported on the use of this test with English children. The stimulus materials used to obtain samples of language from the children consisted of two books with brightly-coloured pictures depicting everyday activities, toy motorcars, and a set of pictures chosen by the investigator to elicit certain responses.…”

The ITPA was used in an assessment of the psycholinguistic abilities of three cleft palate children and three matched normal children, of ages ranging from 48 months to 66 months. The data obtained revealed that the cleft palate children manifested a general depression in those areas sampled by the ITPA, in particular in areas testing expressive abilities.A transformational analysis of the language samples of the cleft palate children showed the relative immaturity of the syntactic structures used by these children.In spite of the limitations of this study, there was a clear indication of a language retardation in the cleft palate group. Several factors present in the early development of cleft palate children could adversely affect the acquisition of language skills. The implications of these findings for speech therapy are important.
