Title
A Study on the Picture Validity for Development of Comprehension Test of Korean Abstract Words
Synopsis
Although Korean language has a very high percentage of abstract words, there is no test battery to measure the ability to understand abstract words. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to select the abstract words to be used for the Comprehension test of Korean Abstract Words(CTKAW) which can be used from school-age children to adults and to evaluate the appropriateness of the pictures representing the abstract words.
