Construct Validation of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test--Revised: A Structural Equation Model of the Acquisition Order of Words.
Miller, Linda T.; Lee, Christopher J.
Psychological Assessment, v5 n4 p438-41 Dec 1993
A historicodevelopmental model of acquisition order of words was applied to 175 words comprising the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test--Revised. A structural equation model demonstrates that the combination of date of entry into English, word length, polysemy, and frequency of use account for a substantial proportion of variance of acquisition order.
