Summary of Procedures

The usher introduces the child to the examiner. The examiner asks how old the

child is.

1 The examiner asks the child to describe several differences between the two Find

the Differences pictures, e.g. ‘This is a bird but this is a cat.’

2 The examiner tells the child the name of the story and describes the ﬁrst picture

e.g. ‘Fred is sad. He can’t play football. His ball is very old. His mum’s saying,

“Take the dog to the park.” ’ The examiner then asks the child to continue telling

the story.

3 The examiner demonstrates how to do this task with the ﬁrst set of four odd-one-

out pictures and then asks the child to choose one picture in the other three sets

and say which is different and why. For example, ‘These are all animals, but this is

a sweater.’

4 The examiner asks questions about the child, e.g. ‘Who’s the youngest in your

family?’
