Summary

The Speech Sounds Perception Test was revised to improve accuracy by randomizing response locations. This change is necessary to better measure speech perception and reduce irrelevant method variance.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • The original Speech Sounds Perception Test response format confounds speech perception with method variance.
  • This methodological issue can impact the validity of test results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To revise the response format of the Speech Sounds Perception Test.
  • To empirically compare the revised format with the original format.

Main Methods:

  • The response format was revised by randomizing response locations.
  • An empirical comparison was conducted using forensic (n=59) and psychiatric (n=67) samples.

Main Results:

  • The revised format addresses the confounding of speech perception with irrelevant method variance.
  • Empirical data supports the necessity of the revision.

Conclusions:

  • The revised Speech Sounds Perception Test is necessary to improve measurement accuracy.
  • The original test format's limitations necessitate a revised approach for valid speech perception assessment.
