Dear Enja,
We have used the Dutch PPVT in adult CI users (no adolescents).
There are two points I like to mention on the PPVT in this population.
1). The norm-data were not suitable for a large part of the participants. Most scored the maximum score, making it difficult to discriminate between listeners
(those listeners had different education levels). We used raw scores in
our study (Kaandorp et al., 2015a).
2). In another study with young normal hearing listeners we found that lexical access ability was more related to speech recognition in noise than vocabulary
size in three NH groups with a large range of language proficiency (including non-native listeners, Kaandorp et al., 2015b).
We are currently finalizing an article on lexical access and vocabulary size in relation to speech recognition performance of adult CI users and I hope this will be available soon. Depending
on what you want to measure in your participants, you might want to consider using lexical access as well in your study.

for my research on second language learning in implanted adolescents, I want to use the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) in Dutch and English. I have the
Dutch version. I need the word lists of the different English versions (UK or US PPVT-III-a/b or PPVT-IV-a/b) to identify the one with the least overlap with the Dutch, so I can purchase it. The publisher was not too helpful. So:
1) Does anyone have experience with the PPVT in adolescent CI populations? Any opinions?
2) Does anyone have a copy of the different word lists (UK or US PPVT-III-a/b or PPVT-IV-a/b) that they could share with me, so that I can compare them myself
to the Dutch version?
