The Picture Elicited Screening Procedure (PESP) grew out of an
attempt to improve the scoring system for the Renfrew Action Picture
Test (RAPT), and resulted in a set of 10 eliciting pictures and a scoring
procedure based on LARSP. The PESP score indicates the syntactic
complexity of the picture-elicited utterances. PESP scores were obtained
for 25 prep (first school year) children of mean age 68.2 months. Norms
are given for English-only and bilingual children. Interpretation of the
PESP score is helped by scoring the number of utterances and the
density (PESP score divided by number of utterances). Norms for
density and utterance scores are given.
