| Research Abstract |
We have developed the adaptive test for language abilities (ATLAN) based on item response theory, including four subtests, i.e. vocabulary, kanji reading, grammar and discourse, and pragmatics. ATLAN can be used via the Internet. In this project, we newly developed two subtests of ATLAN, phonological awareness (ATLAN-PA) and kanji writing (ATLAN-KW). As for ATLAN-PA, totally 326 children aged from 3 to 7 years answered 8 types of PA tasks, e.g., rhyming and tapping, and the two parameters, difficulty and discrimination were estimated. Totally 1306 children from 2nd to 9th grade children answered KW tests and we estimated the parameters from the results. Deaf children and blind children participated in the ATLAN, and we found the different trajectories of language development in different disabilities.
