Does Early Speech Discrimination Predict Language Ability?

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2008
ProblemThere is a paucity of instruments available to assess speech discrimination in normal‐hearing (NH) and hearing‐impaired (HI) infants. We assess the utility of a hybrid visual habituation paradigm (HVHP) in assessing speech discrimination and predicting later language ability.MethodsNH infants were tested with the HVHP on an easier vowel contrast

Speech-Sound Discrimination Ability on Linguistically Unbiased Tests

Exceptional Children, 1976
Traditional testing practices have been considered by some educators as discriminatory against minority groups. These practices are thought to have led to a disproportionate number of black and Spanish speaking children being placed in special classes as a result of their “poor performance” on tests standardized on white, middle class populations and ...

Tactual discrimination of softness: abilities and mechanisms

1996
The ability of human subjects to discriminate softness was investigated. In addition, the associated mechanistic cues and the peripheral neural codes on which the discrimination may be based were investigated using monkeys. Two sets of compliant objects were constructed: (1) those with a deformable surface, composed of transparent silicone rubber of ...

Menstrual cycle, tolerance and blood alcohol level discrimination ability

Addictive Behaviors, 1984
Relationships between variations in blood alcohol level (BAL) and blood alcohol level discrimination accuracy were investigated as a function of menstrual cycle, hormonal variations, and behavioral tolerance to alcohol in 20 female social drinkers. All subjects consumed a moderate dose of alcohol on three occasions during one complete menstrual cycle ...

Mode Discrimination Abilities of Pre-School Children

Psychology of Music, 1996
The purpose of the study was to investigate young children's ability to perceive mode changes in music and to identify major and minor stimuli. Children received short training in the use of the words "major" and "minor" and their application to music. In the post-test, subjects listened to a children's song which presented eight mode changes.

TagCLIP: Improving Discrimination Ability of Zero-Shot Semantic Segmentation

IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) has recently shown great promise in pixel-level zero-shot learning tasks. However, existing approaches utilizing CLIP's text and patch embeddings to generate semantic masks often misidentify input pixels from unseen classes, leading to confusion between novel classes and semantically similar ones.

[Effect of drugs on human discrimination ability].

Psychiatrie, Neurologie, und medizinische Psychologie, 1984
The effects of phenobarbital, nitrazepam, diazepam, medazepam, chlordiazepoxide, phenytoin, carbamazepine, thioridazine and caffeine on the detail discrimination ability of healthy subjects were compared with those of a placebo by means of the d2-test and the Bourdon-Wiersma test. The impairment of performance induced by phenobarbital, thioridazine and
