This dataset contains the data from children who received the Vocabulary Acquisition and Usage for Late Talkers (VAULT) protocol. Data are provided for baseline, pretest, during treatment, post treatment, and maintenance follow-up measures for 68 children.
Note: Not all children had a delay period, as it is not always logistically possible. These children are noted in the dataset. Additionally, not all children have follow-up data, missing data are noted. Finally, some variations existed in the administration timeline, which are noted in the dataset. You may also note that some of our publications on these data include additional metrics (e.g., post-treatment probes, use of specific words on the MCDI, number of times words were said, etc.) that are not included here. We did not include these data in LDBase given that, aside from providing some converging evidence, they were in and of themselves not particularly revealing. If you would like any specific data that are not available in LDBase, please contact us (malt@arizona.edu) and we can discuss options. Additional information on this is available in the codebook and its accompanying codebook guide.
