• Scoring Yes–No vocabulary tests: Reaction time vs. nonword approaches (2012, background): “…Harrington & Carey, 2009; Lemhöfer & Broersma, 2009; Meara & Buxton, 1987; Meara & Jones, 1988; Mochida & Harrington, 2006), although much weaker correlations have been found with productive measures of vocabulary knowledge (e.g. Cameron, 2002; Eyckmans, Van de Velde, van Hout, & Boers, 2007).”
• Introducing LexTALE: A quick and valid Lexical Test for Advanced Learners of English (2011, result): “The results were mixed: For instance, Cameron (2002) did not find significant correlations between the two test types, while Mochida and Harrington (2006) reported high correlations of above .80.”
• The Yes/No test as a measure of receptive vocabulary knowledge (2006, methodology): “In particular, correlations at the 2K and Academic Word levels, where the same items were used in both tests, were only around .20 (Cameron, 2002: 171).”
