John was able to listen to spoken sentences of increasing length and complexity, and repeat them.

In this subtest, John was able to understand the required task of comparing four items and identifying two that satisfied the given question. For example when asked “The dog sat under the table next to the cat. The food was in a dish on the table. The food was,” John was able to identify the correct locations “above the cat,” and “on the table.” However, when given the statement, “A quarter past three is,” John was not able to identify both correct responses, saying “exactly 3:15” and “after 3:25.” The correct responses were exactly 3:15 and before 3:35. 8 Average Receptive Language Index: Measured listening skills and auditory comprehension.
