This is a pseudo open-set task using the popular Mr. Potato Head toy. The test consists of 10 sentences (i.e., Find his black hat or Make Mr. Potato Head go to sleep). The child manipulates the pieces to perform the task. The test is given live voice, auditory alone. Scoring is by total sentences correct and total key words correct.
Lay out Mr. Potato Head and his parts. Review the names of the body parts and let the child play with the pieces briefly. Then tell the child s/he must do exactly what you say. Start Mr. Potato Head with arms and orange feet. Present items with auditory cues only. Performance is scored by the number of key words and sentences correctly identified.
