The relationship between latency to respond and performance on Visual Association, a subtest of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities, was investigated for 50 preschool children. The children were observed as they took the test. Response latencies and correct responses were recorded. Performance on the test was a function of age and latency to respond. It was concluded that for children who do not have the appropriate search strategy, Visual Association, a subtest of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities, does not give a valid assessment.
