 Peabody Individual Achievement Test

The Peabody Individual Achievement Test is an individually administered achievement battery. In the reading-comprehension comparison, participants read text and selected a corresponding picture, giving a response format different from oral retelling or answering open questions. The example illustrates why tests sharing the name reading comprehension can depend differently on word decoding and linguistic comprehension. Findings about one subtest or edition should not be generalized to the whole battery without checking its content. ^[ref]
