A modification of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) was undertaken to standardize administration procedures and to control factors observed to affect test performance of preschool disadvantaged children adversely. The modified PPVT (MPPVT) consisted of 70 items randomized for difficulty level, specified stimulus instructions, and a controlled schedule of verbal reinforcements. The PPVT was administered to 52 and the MPPVT to 56 black children from the same preschool population. Results suggested that the MPPVT positively influences test scores, and is well accepted by examiners. There were no sex differences. Errors increased when the reinforcement schedule changed from 100% to 50%. Suggestions are offered to increase the PPVT's usefulness with other age groups
