Then say:
|
“To help you learn these words, I will tell you the category cue for each word and
ask you to tell me the word that goes with each category cue.
When I read each category cue to you, tell me
which one of these words goes with that category cue.”
Read each category cue aloud to the subject.
If the subject does not know the word, say
"Each WORD is a CUE", and have the subject say the "word".
Then go to the next category cue.
If the subject missed any of the words, the sequence of presenting categories should be repeated once.
Pace acquisition at a rate that is comfortable for the subject.
Check the box to the left of the category cue to indicate
whether the subject states the correct word the first time the cue is read.
