As there had been no standardized vocabulary tests in Japan, the authors felt a strong need for devising one in order to assess speech comprehension levels of preschool language delayed children.<BR>It was intended to assess recognition vocabulary of daily use. For that purpose, the test words were drawn from the "List of Parents' Vocabulary in Speech Addressed to their Children between the Ages of Z and 4 Years". It was also intended to make the test not to cover a wide range of ages but to cover the minimum, the very basic levels for earring out daily conversation, for which it was presupposed that the level of 6 year-olds might be enough as the first target level of attainment for the language delayed children and that our test should be able to assess the development up to the age level of 6 as fully as possible.<BR>After several preliminary tests, a final 50-word test was comprised and standardized for children between the ages of 4 and 6. The test with its full standardization data was presented in this paper.
