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 ...

Speech discrimination in automated diagnostic hearing test

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008
Method and system are disclosed for automated testing of a patient's hearing. The automated hearing test allows the patient to quickly and accurately test his own hearing with minimal or no assistance from an audiologist or other hearing health professionals. The test prompts and instructs the patient for inputs and responses as needed as needed.

A Test for Speech Discrimination Composed of CNC Monosyllabic Words

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1963
In an attenlpt to develop two highly equivalent forms of a test of phonemic discrimination, two lists, each composed of 50 CNC monosyllabic words and conforming to the phonemic balance favored by Lehiste and Peterson (1959), were recorded on magnetic tape in six different word orders. These lists, designated as N. U. Auditory Test No.

A second look at tests of speech-sound discrimination

Journal of Communication Disorders, 1984
This study is an extension of an earlier study conducted by Bountress and Laderberg (1981), which compared the performances of a group of children on two tests of speech-sound discrimination, the Wepman test and Goldman-Fristoe-Woodcock test. The present study consisted of two treatments: The dual administration of the Boston University Speech Sound ...

Reliability of Voice Tests of Speech Discrimination

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1966
Three randomizations of a list of twenty-five words were recorded by a single talker on separate days and under identical conditions. One of the recordings was rerecorded three times and these dubbings were acoustically corrected, cut, and spliced into the three different orders. Two groups of twelve subjects each were tested. One group listened to the

The effect of test difficulty on the sensitivity of speech discrimination tests

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1983
The sensitivity of speech discrimination tests is defined as being large if a small change in experimental conditions causes a large and repeatable change in test score. The aim of this paper is to investigate ways by which test sensitivity can be maximized.

Further Investigation of Vowel Items in Multiple-Choice Speech Discrimination Testing

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1971
A list of 25 vowel-test items employing a multiple-choice (or closed-set) response system was presented to 94 patients with hearing impairments and 10 with normal hearing listening through a low-pass filter. The items had been demonstrated empirically to be the most difficult of 288 similarly constructed items.
