TEST OF SEMANTIC REASONING (TOSR) Semantic reasoning requires both development of word knowledge depth and the use of inductive and deductive reasoning skills. The TOSR assesses breadth (the number of lexical entries one has) and depth (the extent of semantic representation for each known word) of vocabulary knowledge without taxing expressive language skills, providing an important new resource for individuals assessing children with possible language and literacy deficits. Breadth and depth are both important for literacy as breadth is related to early decoding, and depth to later comprehension. The test includes 90 sets of four high-quality color photographs that reflect a vocabulary word in a variety of contexts. The individual must use semantic reasoning to analyze the pictures and then select the single word from a choice of four that best represents the multiple contexts of the word represented by all the images. Administration Time: 20 minutes. Scoring Time: 5 minutes. Ages: 7 through 17 years. #4507 Test of Semantic Reasoning (TOSR) Complete Kit - $192.00 Contents: Manual, Test Easel, Record Forms (25). #4508 TOSR Record Forms (25) - $44.00 |
