类型标记比率 (TTR) 和不同单词数量 (NDW) 在评估儿童的语言技能方面是不可靠的. 词汇多样性 (VocD) 是更敏感的,但需要实际的替代方案用于临床使用.
科学领域:
- 语言学的语言学.
- 发展心理学 发展心理学
- 语音语言病理学 语言病理学
背景情况:
- 像类型标记比率 (TTR) 这样的词汇多样性指数通常用于分析口语样本.
- 之前的研究表明,TTR容易受到样本大小和提取方法的变化的影响.
- 标准化提示可能会提高儿童词汇多样性测量的可靠性.
研究的目的:
- 评估不同词汇多样性测量对儿童年龄和临床状况 (通常是发育与发育性语言障碍) 的敏感性.
- 为了比较类型标记比率 (TTR),不同单词数/100 (NDW) 和词汇多样性 (VocD) 的心理测量属性.
- 确定可靠的措施来评估儿童的表达词汇.
主要方法:
- 分析了1048名4至11岁儿童的档案数据 (798名典型发育,250名发育性语言障碍).
- 使用TTR,NDW和VocD从标准化的叙事提示中获得的词汇多样性的检查.
- 对年龄和诊断组差异的测量灵敏度的比较.
主要成果:
- 类型标记比率 (TTR) 对年龄和诊断组的敏感性较低,有可能错误分类.
- 不同单词的数量/100 (NDW) 对诊断分组的敏感性有限.
- 词汇多样性 (VocD) 成为最敏感的指标,表现优于TTR和NDW.
- 其他措施,如发言的平均长度和动词密度,也显示出良好的增长和诊断歧视.
结论:
- 类型标记比 (TTR) 不推用于儿童语言评估中的临床决策.
- 不同单词数量 (NDW) 与TTR相比没有显著的心理测量优势.
- 词汇多样性 (VocD) 是最敏感的指标,但需要计算机辅助分析.
- 需要使用替代的实用方法来评估儿童在临床环境中的表达词汇技能.
