Time-Compressed Speech Discrimination, Reading Readiness and the Effect of Clinical Method
Daniel J. Orchik, Susan Holgate, Mimi Danko · International Journal of Audiology · 1979
Time-compressed speech discrimination was examined on kindergarten-age children grouped according to scores on the Lindamood Auditory Comprehension Test (LAC). In experiment 1, 34 children were equally divided into two groups based upon the LAC, and administered the Word Intelligibility by Picture Identification Test (WIPI) at 0, 30 and 60% time compression. In experiment 2, 32 children were similarly grouped and administered the WIPI at 0 and 60% time compression with 60% always administered first. Significant main effects for time compression and test group were found. The effects of clinical method and clinical implications are discussed.Nous avons utilisé une audiométrie vocale en vitesse accélerée chez de jeunes enfants repartis en deux groupes selon leur aptitude à la lecture déterminée à l'aide d'un test spécialisé. Nous avons observé que la discrimination décroit en fonction inverse de la vitesse. Nous discutons l'utilité clinique chez l'enfant de cette audiométrie vocale sensi-bilisée.
