In addition to evaluating relationships between measures at the level of total score, we also explored agreement at an item level between two lexical measures.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Method<\/jats:title>\n \n Participants were 109 Slovak\u2010speaking 2\u20136\u2010year\u2010old typically developing children who all completed the Cross\u2010linguistic lexical task (CLT\u2010SK). Three additional measures of lexical skills were obtained: A parental checklist (Slovak adaptation of CDI;\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 30, aged 30\u201336 months), a narrative task to estimate production of Internal State Terms (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 79, aged 41\u201381 months) and a non\u2010word repetition task (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 105, aged 30\u201381). The agreement at the item level was determined between items that were included in both the CLT\u2010SK and CDI.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Correlational analyses showed that the CLT\u2010SK was significantly related to all measures. While relationships at the level of total scores were confirmed, agreement at the level of individual items between parental judgement and the child's performance was poor.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n The results support the view that CLT\u2010SK is a valid instrument to assess lexical skills in children aged 2\u20136 years when total scores are evaluated. However, the agreement at the level of individual items was inadequate, which may have implications for clinical work and\/or research based on assumed knowledge of individual items.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS<\/jats:title>\n \n What is already known on this subject<\/jats:italic>\n \n \n The validity of parental checklists in relation to direct vocabulary assessments is well established, particularly in pre\u2010school\u2010aged children. However, there is limited research exploring the relationship between different direct measures of lexical knowledge. This gap highlights the need for further investigation to understand how various methods complement each other in assessing lexical skills.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n <\/jats:list>\n <\/jats:p>\n \n What this paper adds to existing knowledge<\/jats:italic>\n \n \n This study supports the convergent validity of the CLT\u2010SK. It extends current knowledge by exploring relationships between different types of lexical assessments, within a new language, and provides unique insights into the agreement between individual items when evaluated using different methods. The study found that the overall scores of different lexical measures appear to be related, but the validity at the level of individual test items is low.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n <\/jats:list>\n <\/jats:p>\n \n What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work?<\/jats:italic>\n \n \n The results suggest that lexical assessments are effective for evaluating overall vocabulary knowledge but may not reliably measure specific word knowledge. The study supports the validity of the CLT\u2010SK, highlighting its quick, child\u2010friendly administration, low costs and high accessibility for diverse populations and clinical settings. These features enhance its utility and contribute to the broader applicability of the CLT framework across multiple languages.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n <\/jats:list>\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1460-6984.70110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,11]],"date-time":"2025-08-11T18:50:04Z","timestamp":1754938204000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Convergent Validity of the Cross\u2010Linguistic Lexical Task"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0052-6884","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Svetlana","family":"Kapalkov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of\u00a0Education, Department of Communication Disorders Comenius University in Bratislava Bratislava Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7405-6689","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kamila","family":"Poli\u0161ensk\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Language and Communication Science City St George's, University of London London UK"},{"name":"Division of Psychology, Communication and Human Neuroscience The University of Manchester Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8556-7625","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrej","family":"Mentel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences Institute of Social Anthropology Comenius University\u00a0in Bratislava Bratislava Slovakia"},{"name":"Palack\u00fd University Olomouc, Faculty of Arts; Department of Sociology, Andragogy and Cultural Anthropology Olomouc Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tereza","family":"Horsk\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of\u00a0Education, Department of Communication Disorders Comenius University in Bratislava Bratislava Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monika","family":"Jan\u00edkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of\u00a0Education, Department of Communication Disorders Comenius University in Bratislava Bratislava Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martina","family":"Zub\u00e1kov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of\u00a0Education, Department of Communication Disorders Comenius University in Bratislava Bratislava Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2016.01710"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1460-6984.12234"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","first-page":"247","volume-title":"Desa\u0165 \u0161t\u00fadi\u00ed o detskej re\u010di","author":"Brestovi\u010dov\u00e1 A.","year":"2018"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0012-1649.34.1.88"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2023.924056"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15248372.2012.689390"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-8624.2005.00882.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1075\/lab.20036.sve"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0305000916000209"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0305000900011594"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21248\/zaspil.63.2019.516"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0142716406060383"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2023.1214518"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02699206.2017.1308553"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_16_1","first-page":"196","volume-title":"Assessing Multilingual Children.
