Verbal fluency in children aged 5 to 12: Czech norms and psychometric properties
Abstract
The Verbal Fluency Test is the common task not only in the school psychological services. This methodological study provides the main psychometrical parameters of the test, particularly the reliability estimates, and norms for the number of words named within one minutes beginning on the sounds N, K and P (and total) on the sample of 411 pupils aged 5–12 years.
