Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT)

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) is a standardized assessment that measures a person's understanding of vocabulary. During the test, individuals are shown a series of pictures and are asked to select the one that best represents a word spoken by the examiner. It is commonly used to evaluate receptive language skills, especially in children, but also in adults. The PPVT provides insights into a person’s vocabulary knowledge and overall language development, making it a useful tool for educators, clinicians, and researchers to assess communication skills and identify language-related challenges.
