OTDL Stimuli, instructions, and instructional videos
These materials and videos are derived from the ACTIVE Study, and were made in March 1998. The non-video material gives you everything you need to make up, use, administer and score an OTDL kit. The videos highlight some peculiarities of the ACTIVE study (e.g., specific organization of the OTDL testing kit, names of particular contact people, etc.), but should still be useful in giving a ballpark idea of how to administer and score the OTDL.
Video files are all in “Windows Media” (asf) streaming format. To obtain the free Windows Media Player, visit the Microsoft website at http://www.microsoft.com.
