Description: The Test of Information Processing Skills (TIPS) provides clinicians with quick and reliable measures of how well a person processes information (Letter strings) presented visually and auditorily. Short-term, working memory, and delayed recall tasks show differences between sequenced and nonsequenced retention (a hallmark of those with learning and/or executive function disabilities). Error analyses (Proactive Interference and Acoustic Intrusion) document the extent to which new information is lost or its retention is inhibited. Although TIPS had is genesis in the Learning Efficiency Test (R. Webster, 1981, 1992, and 1998), it features new items, new subtests (Delayed Recall and Word Fluency), new scoring procedures, and new norms. It was normed on a national sample of 3,314 individuals.
