Automatic Scoring of a Nonword Repetition Test [PDF]
2017 16th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA), 2017 In this study, we explore the feasibility of speech-based techniques to automatically evaluate a nonword repetition (NWR) test. NWR tests, a useful marker for detecting language impairment, require repetition of pronounceable nonwords, such as "D OY F", presented aurally by an examiner or via a recording. Our proposed method leverages ASR techniques to

Nonword Repetition and Speech Motor Control in Children [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2015 This study examined how familiarity of word structures influenced articulatory control in children and adolescents during repetition of real words (RWs) and nonwords (NWs). A passive reflective marker system was used to track articulator movement. Measures of accuracy were obtained during repetition of RWs and NWs, and kinematic analysis of movement ...
