CHAT-E is Northwestern University's digital adaptation of the BPI that uses animated puppets and sound to deliver dichotomous items on a tablet. It retains the forced-choice format while improving logistics for classroom and clinic settings.
Benefits
- Consistency: audio and timing are standardized for higher reliability.
- Accessibility: supports Audio-CASI for emerging readers.
- Engagement: animated puppets and light engagement cues sustain attention.
