Abstrakt: Field research makes size and weight demands upon instruments which are sometimes not as important in the laboratory. A portable model of the rod-and-frame test, which had been standardized against the original laboratory model, was considered too bulky for easy transportation as hand baggage where air travel was necessary. Another portable version of the rod-and-frame test did meet portability requirements but suffered from design limitations which invalidated its results, as well as an absence of standardization data. Successful modifications of this lightweight instrument overcoming the handicaps and a successful comparison with scores on another standardized portable apparatus was made with 51 men and 97 women of college age.
