Clues to aural discrimination.

J W Black, L V Deal, S Singh

    Journal of Psycholinguistic Research
    |July 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study investigated factors influencing speech intelligibility test scores. Apparent aural similarity and phonemic discrepancies were found to be the strongest predictors of discrimination scores.

    Area of Science:

    • Speech-language pathology
    • Psychoacoustics
    • Linguistics

    Background:

    • Assessing speech intelligibility is crucial for understanding communication disorders.
    • The Multiple-Choice Intelligibility Test (MCIT) is a tool used to measure speech perception.
    • Identifying factors that contribute to intelligibility scores can refine diagnostic tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the relative contribution of different acoustic and phonetic measures to the discrimination scores in the MCIT.
    • To identify which specific measures are the strongest predictors of intelligibility.

    Main Methods:

    • Five measures were extracted from MCIT items: aural similarity, interconsonantal differences, phonemic discrepancies, distinctive feature differences, and pooled discrimination score.
    • Multiple correlation analysis was employed to assess the predictive power of the four measures on the discrimination score.

    Main Results:

    • The four predictor measures collectively accounted for approximately 45% of the variance in discrimination scores.
    • Apparent aural similarity of response options and phonemic discrepancies among them were identified as the most significant contributors.

    Conclusions:

    • Aural similarity and phonemic differences are key factors influencing speech intelligibility as measured by the MCIT.
    • These findings can inform the development and refinement of speech intelligibility assessment tools.
