A Test of the Test of Problem Solving (TOPS)

Abstract
In recent years, a number of new speech and language tests for children have appeared. Of interest is whether these new tests help to define language disorders in such a way as to identify children with problems, delineate their problems, and provide useful intervention strategies. The focus of this paper is the Test of Problem Solving (1984). The designers claim that their "cognition-language" test assesses integration of semantic, linguistic and reasoning ability and taps skills needed for academic success and social acceptance. The content validity of the test is challenged through a replication experiment.
