A Recorded Word Test for Auditory Discrimination

Auditory-visual word identification test materials: computer application with children.

The purpose of this investigation was to obtain performance data from normal-hearing children using the written word portion of existing auditory-visual word identification materials, for example, the Picture Identification Task (Wilson and Antablin, 1980). The response foils, consisting of four written words (target and alternative words) were entered into computer memory so that responses wer...

Test-Retest Reliability of Dual-Recorded Brainstem versus Cortical Auditory-Evoked Potentials to Speech.

BACKGROUND Auditory-evoked potentials have proven useful in the objective evaluation of sound encoding at different stages of the auditory pathway (brainstem and cortex). Yet, their utility for use in clinical assessment and empirical research relies critically on the precision and test-retest repeatability of the measure. PURPOSE To determine how subcortical/cortical classes of auditory neur...

Automatic Word Sense Discrimination

This paper presents context-group discrimination, a disambiguation algorithm based on clustering. Senses are interpreted as groups (or clusters) of similar contexts of the ambiguous word. Words, contexts, and senses are represented in Word Space, a high-dimensional, real-valued space in which closeness corresponds to semantic similarity. Similarity in Word Space is based on second-order co-occu...

Bayesian Word Sense Discrimination

سایکوآکوستیک و درک گفتار در افراد مبتلا به نوروپاتی شنوایی و افراد طبیعی

Background: The main result of hearing impairment is reduction of speech perception. Patient with auditory neuropathy can hear but they can not understand. Their difficulties have been traced to timing related deficits, revealing the importance of the neural encoding of timing cues for understanding speech. Objective: In the present study psychoacoustic perception (minimal noticeable differen...
