Abstract

RICARDI, Nora  and  CORTADA DE KOHAN, Nuria. Relationship between reasoning coherence and vocabulary in children. Interdisciplinaria [online]. 2004, n.esp, pp.193-204. ISSN 1668-7027.

In this research we studied the relationship between two tests for children. One of them, is a Test of Reasoning Coherence, and the other is a Test of Vocabulary in Spanish. Both tests have been studied in adults, and adolescents (Cortada de Kohan, 1997, 1998; López Alonso, 1988; Ricardi, 1989, 1993a, 1993b; Ricardi, & López Alonso, 1993). We adapted both instruments for children and administered them to a sample of 245 primary school children between 7, and 12 years old. The correlation between the test of coherence and the verbal test is .497 is a value significative to p ≤ .01. We did not find significant differences between sexes but, we did find an increasing mean value along the ages.

Keywords : Tests; children; correlation; reasoning coherence; verbal ability.
