CREVT-3: Comprehensive Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary Test–Third Edition Gerald Wallace • Donald D. Hammill AGES: 5 through 89 years TESTING TIME: 20 to 30 minutes ADMINISTRATION: Individual The Comprehensive Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary Test–Third Edition (CREVT-3) is an innovative, efficient measure of both receptive and expressive oral vocabulary. It is a norm-referenced assessment tool used to identify, describe, and quantify oral vocabulary proficiency in children and adults. Specifically, it can be used to identify individuals who are significantly behind their peers in oral vocabulary facility, note dis- crepancies between receptive and expressive oral vocabulary, document progress in oral vocabulary development as a consequence of interven- tion programs, and measure oral vocabulary in research studies. FEATURES OF THE CREVT-3 • Two equivalent forms are available. • All‑new normative data were collected from a demographically represen- tative sample of the 2011 U.S. population ages 5-0 through 89-11 years. • Outdated photos were replaced with more contemporary photographs. • A pronunciation guide for administering both subtests is provided. • Studies showing the absence of gender and ethnic bias have been expanded. • The composite score has neither floor nor ceiling effects.

CREVT-3 SUBTESTS The CREVT-3 has two subtests. The results of the subtests can be combined to form an overall General Vocabulary Index. Receptive Vocabulary The format of the 76-item Receptive Vocabulary subtest is a variation of the familiar “point to the picture of the word I say” technique featuring the unique use of thematic full-color photographs. This subtest is made up of 10 plates, each of which comprises six pictures. All of the pictures on a plate relate to a particular theme (animals, trans- portation, occupations, clothing, food, personal grooming, tools, household appliances, recreation, and clerical materials). The themes represent concepts with which most people are familiar. Five to eight words are associated with each plate, and the words are spread evenly from young children through adults. The examiner begins with Item 1 on the first plate and asks the person being tested a series of words, one at a time. After each word, the examinee selects from six photographs the one that best goes with the stimulus word. When the person misses two words in a row, the examiner introduces the next plate. The pictures used with the Receptive Vocabulary subtests are spiral-bound in a Photo Album Picture Book featuring laminated covers for ease of use and durability. Each plate is printed in full color on heavy, varnish-sealed cover stock designed for frequent use. The high-quality color printing of the photographs won an Award of Excellence from the Printing Industries Association of Texas! Expressive Vocabulary The Expressive Vocabulary subtest uses the “define the word I say” format—the most popular and precise way to measure expressive vocabulary. The format encourages
and requires the individual to converse in detail about a particular stimulus word, making it ideal for measuring expressive ability. The 29 items on this subtest pertain to the same 10 common themes used in the Receptive Vocabulary subtest (animals, transportation, occupations, etc.), allowing for easy transition from subtest to subtest. The applications of basals and ceilings allow the subtest to be given quickly and make it appropriate for a wide age range. CREVT-3 COMPOSITE General Vocabulary Index The General Vocabulary Index is composed of the Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary subtests. It represents overall ability in the area of oral vocabulary.
