Administration: Individual; 20-25 minutes
The TIPS provides clinicians with quick and reliable measures of how well a person processes information (letter strings) presented visually and auditorily. Short-term and working memory responses show differences between sequenced and non-sequenced retention (a hallmark of those with learning disabilities). Error analyses (Proactive Inhibition and Auditory Intrusion) document the extent to which new information is lost or its retention is inhibited.
Subtests:
• Visual and Auditory Modality : Letter strings are presented visually and orally, and the examinee is asked to recall the letters immediately, then after a counting task, and again after a sentence repetition task. Scores differentiate sequenced vs non-sequenced recall (letters recalled in the exact sequence as presented vs letters recalled out of sequence). Error analysis provide measures of Acoustic Intrusion and Proactive Interference effects.
• Delayed Recall: recall animals or fruits from the sentence repetition task.
• Semantic Fluency: examinee must generate word lists over one-minute spans, first orally and then in writing.
Administration and Scoring:
The TIPS Protocol provides a detailed summary of how the individual processes new information, presented visually or auditorily. The easy-to-use format facilitates score calculations. The TIPS Scoring Tutorial, provided in the Manual, describes scoring procedures, and includes a Practice Exercise with an Annotated Key. Sequential and non-sequential scores are obtained; standard scores and percentile ranks are provided.
The TIPS Complete Kit includes:
• Manual
• Record Forms (25)
• Test Plates
