What happens if the second sample of Picture Span is incorrect after the first?

When a second sample of Picture Span is incorrect after the first, the correct response is to move to the third sample. This approach helps in maintaining the integrity of the testing process by allowing for further assessment without overly penalizing the examinee for one incorrect response.

In Picture Span, the task is designed to evaluate visual working memory and the ability to recall visual information. By providing additional samples, the tester can gather more data about the child's performance and cognitive abilities. This gradual progression allows for a fairer assessment, as it considers the possibility of momentary lapses or misunderstanding rather than closing off the evaluation prematurely.

The other approaches, such as moving to Item 1 or going to the next trial, would not provide an adequate measure of the child’s abilities, as they either restart the evaluation or skip critical assessment steps. Re-evaluating from the start would disrupt the flow of the test and add unnecessary complexity. Thus, moving to the third sample effectively captures the child's capabilities in this specific task.
