Method: Pearson’s correlation coefficient; p not stated for all results
Total Metalinguistics Index: 0.89
Meta-Pragmatics Index: 0.73
Meta-Semantics Index: 0.91
Was a definition of stability applied to identify stable patients: The author chose a time frame between the test and retest which was as short as possible, to minimize changes in the individual, yet long enough for any practice or memory effects to dissipate
Time frame or interval between the two administrations: within a range of 7 to 30 days (mean of 16.3 days)
