A computerized adaptive testing system for speech  discrimination measurement: The Speech Sound Pattern Discrimination Test

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997
A computerized, adaptive test-delivery system for the measurement of speech discrimination, the Speech Sound Pattern Discrimination Test, is described and evaluated. Using a modified discrimination task, the testing system draws on a pool of 130 items spanning a broad range of difficulty to estimate an examinee’s location along an underlying continuum ...

Group speech sound discrimination testing

Journal of Communication Disorders, 1968
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present a controlled method of group testing of speech sound discrimination which would be expedient for the researcher and clinician. Three hundred one first graders between six years, six months and seven years, six months were administered the 50-item Templin Speech Sound Discrimination Test.

An Item-Difficulty Based Speech Discrimination Test

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1971
In an attempt to improve the differentiating ability of monosyllabic speech discrimination tests, two equivalent, 25-word test recordings with rectilinear distributions of item difficulty were constructed from W-22 Hirsh recordings. These lists and selected half lists of the standard W-22 recordings were then presented to 40 ears of listeners with ...

Variables Influencing Performance on Speech-Sound Discrimination Tests

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1974
Stimulus items were presented in three different contexts and under two different listening conditions to a total of 72 nursery, kindergarten, and first-grade children divided into equally sized groups on the basis of age. Results indicated that both the context of stimulus item presentation and the presence of background noise affected accuracy of ...

A Proposed Clinical Test of Speech Discrimination

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1968
The Modified Rhyme Test (MRT) has been adapted to the needs of the clinical audiologist. Tape recordings of three speakers, one female and two males, were made, evaluated, and assembled in a format suitable for use as a clinical tool. Special attention was given to ensure an appropriate carrier phrase, consistent timing sequences, well-controlled ...

The Development of Constant Items for Speech Discrimination Testing

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1968
Subjects were English-speaking adults with hearing impairment. Etiology of hearing loss did not enter into selection. Consonant errors were observed on speech discrimination test lists employing a closed-set response system. Fifteen subjects were employed for the first list and 20 each for the remaining four lists, with an occasional subject serving in

A comparison of two tests of speech-sound discrimination

Journal of Communication Disorders, 1981
This study was conducted for the purpose of comparing two tests of speech-sound discrimination which are commonly used by speech-language clinicians, the Wepman and Goldman-Fristoe-Woodcock. In particular, it was the purpose of the study to ascertain whether the tests were significantly comparable measures of speech-sound discrimination.

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 ...

Stability and accuracy of adaptive tests of speech discrimination

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. Monosyllables (consonant-vowel-consonant form) included in Northwestern University Auditory Test No. 6 were employed as test stimuli.
