The PPVT‐R was administered to 112 elementary school children in both computerautomated and standard formats. The comparability of test results was investigated. The automated format consisted of transparent plates placed in front of a computer screen with an Apple IIE computer and keyboard as the response medium. The correlations found between the standard and modified versions were positive, substantial, and acceptable for clinical use. The usefulness of adapted psychological testing with normal and response‐limited individuals is discussed.
