## How to Administer the PVT

### Setting up

1. Open NIH Toolbox app on the iPad Air and tap *Participants*.
2. Create a new participant:

   a. Tap *Add new participant*.

   b. Fill out *Identifier* with the child's subject ID and tap *Done*.
3. Add the instrument to the participant:

   a. Tap *Add new assessment*.

   b. Tap the down arrow and then *Add instruments*. Find the Picture Vocabulary Test (usually the first option) and tap *Select*, then tap *Done*.

### Administering the assessment

1. Have the parent complete participant information. Tap *Edit* under *Participant* and have parent fill out their **birthday** and **highest education level**.

   a. NOTE: The app does require these for this particular assessment. (All other fields are unnecessary.)

   b. When these fields are complete, tap *Done*.
2. When you are ready to begin the assessment, tap *Start assessment*. You will hit an error message, but simply tap *Start assessment* again to continue and begin the test.

   a. Touch *Touch and Hold Here to Continue*.
3. Read the opening/introductory instructions printed on the iPad screen aloud to the participant. Plug in headphones and have participant put them on. Then touch *Touch and Hold Here to Continue*.

   a. The app will automatically move through two practice trials. Make sure the volume is loud enough so that participants can hear the pre-recorded feedback and the presentation of the words.
4. After the practice trials, read the introduction to test items printed on the iPad screen aloud to the participant. When participant is ready, touch *Touch and Hold Here to Continue*.

   a. The app will automatically move through the test items with the participant. An audio recording will introduce each word and the participant will tap on the corresponding picture. The items will continue in this format until the test is completed.

   b. If the participant says they do not know the word, tell them to make their best guess.
