Abstract
The Kaufman-Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC), a new individually administered intelligence and achievement tool which assesses problem-solving styles and information processing, is reviewed with respect to the identification of word finding problems and the usefulness of the simultaneous vs. successive processing dichotomy in the understanding of children's word retrieval disorders. A framework for identifying potential expressive language problems while conducting other comprehensive assessments is recommended. Hypothetical profiles contrasting children's scores on simultaneous vs. successive tasks are discussed with respect to types of word finding problems manifested on the K-ABC. Extension testing is recommended where appropriate.Keywords
