Refining stimulus parameters in assessing infant speech perception using visual reinforcement infant speech discrimination sensation level
Material type: TextSubject(s): Online resources: In: Journal of American Academy of Audiology 26 (2015) p. 807-814Summary: Speech perception measures have long been considered an integral piece of the audiological assessment battery. Currently, a prelinguistic, standardized measure of speech perception is missing in the clinical assessment battery for infants and young toddlers. Such a measure would allow systematic assessment of speech perception abilities of infants as well as the potential to investigate the impact early identification of hearing loss and early fitting of amplification have on the auditory pathways.
