Abstract

We present two versions of assessment / intervention tools for understanding metaphors: TCM, Metaphor Comprehension Test, for children aged 9 to 14 years old or from elementary school (Portugal), and junior TCM, for children aged 4 to 6 years old or preschool age. There are versions / adaptations for European Portuguese of existing tools in Italian. The authors of the Italian versions are professors at the University of Sapienza, in Rome, Italy, with internationally recognized works, presenting the original versions with good psychometric qualities. At the moment, both instruments are already adapted for Portuguese, in the process of being applied to obtain normative data and their validation. We hope, similarly to what happens with the Italian versions, to obtain valid tools, with triple instrumentality: psychometric assessment and dynamic assessment and intervention resource, for various stages of development and different ages.
