Polish Digit Triplet Test for Auditory Screening: Development and Initial Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the Polish digit triplet test for speech intelligibility screening. The first stage of the work deals with the preparation of the test and the recording procedure. The second part presents results of the digit triplets intelligibility measurement and retest data. The test consists of 4 statistically equivalent and phonemically balanced lists, each containing 25 different triplets. The constant stimuli paradigm was used to determine the digit triplet psychometric functions. Fifty otologically normal subjects took part in the measurements. The mean list-specific SRT and S50 for Polish digit triplet test are −9.4 dB and 19.7%/dB, respectively, and correlate very well with analogous parameters obtained for German digit triplet test, i.e. −9.3 dB and 19.6%/dB. The Polish digit triplet test evaluated in retest experiments revealed high reliability and accuracy for a fast intelligibility screening.

Development and evaluation of Polish digit triplet test for auditory screening
The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the Polish digit triplet test for speech intelligibility screening. The first part of the paper deals with the preparation of the speech material, the recording procedure and a listening experiment. In this part, triplet-specific intelligibility functions for 160 different digit complexes were determined and 100 'optimal' triplets were sel...
متن کاملThe paced auditory serial addition test for working memory assessment: Psychometric properties
Background: The paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT) was primarily developed to assess the effects of traumatic brain injury on cognitive functioning. Working memory (WM) is one of the most important aspects of cognitive function, and WM impairment is one of the clinically remarkable signs of aphasia. To develop the Persian version of PASAT, an initial version was used in individuals wit...

متن کاملAutomated Screening for High-Frequency Hearing Loss
OBJECTIVE Hearing loss at high frequencies produces perceptual difficulties and is often an early sign of a more general hearing loss. This study reports the development and validation of two new speech-based hearing screening tests in English that focus on detecting hearing loss at frequencies above 2000 Hz. DESIGN The Internet-delivered, speech-in noise tests used closed target-word sets of...

AbstractObjectives: Assessment of cognitive deficits in patients with schizo-phrenia bears significant implications, particulary in localizing the underlying accompanying neurological impairments. This study aimed for evaluation of cognitive deficits in first-degree relatives of these patients who reflect the same underlying genetic vulnerability for the disorder. Method: In this cross-section...
