Abstract:
A reproducible method to measure the intelligibility of communication systems is required to assess their efficiency. The current study seeks to develop a French version of the Modified Rhyme Test (MRT) [(House, Williams, Heker, and Kryter (1965). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 37, 158-66], an intelligibility test composed of 50 six-word lists, originally developed for military applications and now widely used. An evaluation of the authors' French MRT was carried out, reproducing the original experimental conditions used by House and colleagues. Very similar results were found between the original MRT and the French MRT, validating the latter for further use and dissemination.
