E. TOY SORTING<br />

Toys should be mixed together in two bins before testing begins.<br />

“Okay, now I have something else to show you.” Take out the 4 sorting bins and<br />

mixed-up toys.<br />

“Oh no, the toys are all a mess.” Dump the toys out onto the table, close to the child.<br />

Be sure to leave space on the table for the sorting bins to fit behind the mixed up toys<br />

(from the child’s perspective).<br />

“We can’t play right now, but please clean up this mess and put the toys where they<br />

go.”<br />

Line up the bins on the table. From the child’s perspective, the bins should be equidistant<br />

from the child, within reach, and behind the toys. Point to the picture on each bin: “See,<br />

the cars go in here, the dinosaurs go in here, the bugs go in here, and the beads go in<br />

here.”<br />

STOPWATCH/COUNTUP: Time for 2 minutes. Time:<br />

✎ how long it takes for the child to start sorting the toys<br />

and<br />

✎ amount of time to complete the task<br />

Sorting incorrectly: repeat directions and point to the sorting bins one<br />

last time: “Remember, the cars go here, the dinosaurs go here, the<br />

bugs go here, and the beads go in here.”<br />

<br />

If the child continues to sort incorrectly, do not repeat<br />

directions.<br />
