Stability and accuracy of adaptive tests of speech discrimination [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974 Five experiments were conducted with normal listeners to investigate the reliability (stability) and validity (accuracy) of adaptive tests for measuring the linear portion of CNC discrimination functions.

Closed-Set Speech Discrimination Tests for Assessing Young Children [PDF]
Ear & Hearing, 2017 Objective: The main objective of this study is to obtain data assessing normative scores, test–retest reliability, critical differences, and the effect of age for two closed-set consonant-discrimination tests. Design: The two tests are intended for use with children aged 2 to 8 ...

On the comparison between identification and discrimination tests in speech perception [PDF]
Psychonomic Science, 1971 The conversion between identification and three forms of discrimination tests, based on the extreme assumption that discrimination performance in speech perception tests is determined solely by labeling in identification tests, is examined. Identical conversions are obtained for the two-interval same-different test, for the four-interval forced-choice ...

Five-choice speech discrimination test.
Nippon Jibiinkoka Gakkai Kaiho, 1990 In order to overcome defects of dictation method, a new 5-choice method introduced into Japanese mono syllables discrimination test. A new 20-items mono syllables list was developed on the principle of equal probability of the Japanese consonant ...

The relationship of speech intelligibility with hearing sensitivity, cognition, and perceived hearing difficulties varies for different speech perception tests [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Listeners vary in their ability to understand speech in noisy environments. Hearing sensitivity, as measured by pure-tone audiometry, can only partly explain these results, and cognition has emerged as another key concept.

A Case Study Assessing the Auditory and Speech Development of Four Children Implanted with Cochlear Implants by the Chronological Age of 12 Months [PDF]
Case Reports in Otolaryngology, 2013 Children with severe hearing loss most likely receive the greatest benefit from a cochlear implant (CI) when implanted at less than 2 years of age. Children with a hearing loss may also benefit greater from binaural sensory stimulation. Four children who

Logatome Discrimination in Cochlear Implant Users: Subjective Tests Compared to the Mismatch Negativity [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2010 This paper describes a logatome discrimination test for the assessment of speech perception in cochlear implant users (CI users), based on a multilingual speech database, the Oldenburg Logatome Corpus, which was originally recorded for the comparison of ...

Use of synthetic speech in tests of speech discrimination
, 2000 The purpose of this study was to develop two tape-recorded synthetic speech discrimination test tapes and assess their intelligibility in order to determine whether or not synthetic speech was intelligible and if it would prove useful in speech discrimination testing. Four scramblings of the second MU-6 monosyllable word list were generated by the ECHO

Discrimination loss vs. SRT: A model-based approach towards harmonizing speech test interpretations [PDF]
arXivObjective: Speech tests aim to estimate discrimination loss or speech recognition threshold (SRT). This paper investigates the potential to estimate SRTs from clinical data that target at characterizing the discrimination loss. Knowledge about the relationship between the speech test outcome variables--conceptually linked via the psychometric function--

Only behavioural but not self-report measures of speech perception correlate with cognitive abilities [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Good speech perception and communication skills in everyday life are crucial for participation and well-being, and are therefore an overarching aim of auditory rehabilitation.
