environment: Unix, DOS, Windows
Hardware environment: Cyber, PDP11, Sun, PCs
Software (Windows) developed: I
have designed and developed (system, linguistic material and programming) the ROST family of
test for syntactic development in various languages (including English, Italian,
Spanish, German, Cantonese, Danish, Bengali, Syhleti, Punjabi, Turkish,
Russian). It supersedes the earlier version: Preschool Reception of Syntax Test
(PROST):
testing the syntactic development of 2-4 year olds Computerized version of
TROG: testing
the syntactic development of 4-11 year olds
