Language comprehension is vital to social and educational development but few pediatric tests are available for its assessment. To approach this problem, two versions of the Token Test (TT), "TT short form" (DeRenzi & Faglioni, 1978) and "Revised Token Test" (RTT), were first compared. Using a sample of 88 normally developing Spanish-speaking children, the tests were compared on their: (a) established psychometric development and (b) internal consistency. The RTT was judged to be superior and was selected for additional experimentation. The RTT was compared with a developmental measure of lexical knowledge on a cross-sectional sample of 250 4-12-year-old normally developing Spanish-speaking children. A significant positive and high correlation supports its concurrent validity. Significant differences across the age groups, along with a principal component analysis that yielded a three-factor structure, support its construct validity. Preliminary normative data across the nine age groups are provided.
语言理解对于社会和教育发展至关重要，但很少有专门用于评估语言理解的儿科测试。为解决这一问题，我们首先比较了两种代币测试（TT）版本，即“TT 短式”（DeRenzi & Faglioni，1978）和“修订代币测试”（RTT）。我们使用了 88 名正常发育的西班牙语儿童的样本，比较了这两种测试在以下方面的表现：（a）已建立的心理计量学发展和（b）内部一致性。结果显示 RTT 表现更优，因此我们选择它进行进一步的实验。我们在 250 名 4-12 岁正常发育的西班牙语儿童的横断样本上比较了 RTT 与词汇知识的发展性测量。高度相关的正相关支持了其同时效度。年龄组之间的显著差异，以及产生三因素结构的主成分分析，支持了其结构效度。我们提供了 9 个年龄组的初步规范数据。
