There is a need for new UK English speech test material for use in evaluating speech discrimination ability with for children

چکیده
These are two monosyllable, closed-set speech tests. They are supplied as books of the stimulus pictures and a response sheet for photocopying. The test material is pre-recorded onto a CD with a calibration tone and six different orderings of the test words. Speech-shaped noise is recorded onto the second channel for testing in noise. It is envisaged that the typical set-up for carrying out the tests would be from a CD player to a two-channelled audiometer, with output through free-field speakers. The child's responses are recorded on the confusion matrix by the tester. Full directions are given in the response book.
