Abstract:
Sixteen deaf children received therapy and were tested at four-month intervals with 15 one- and two-syllable words. These samples were judged on a 9-point similarity scale. A significant improvement was detected over the testing times. This testing procedure was described at the 79th Meeting of the Acoustical Society [C. W. Asp, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 48, 87(A) (1970)] and some results were reported at the 84th Meeting [C. W. Asp, E. M. French, J. S. Berry, and J. E. Keller, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 53, 349(A) (1973)] . Next, a spectrogram and a phonetic count were made of each sample which included the oral stimulus and response. For the group, there was a decrease in (1) mean F0, (2) range of F0,(3) voiced duration, (4) total duration, and (5) latency. There was an increase (improvement) in (1) syllable match and (2) phonetic count. Spectro-graphic measures were compared to similarity scores. Envelope match and syllable match had the highest correlation coefficients.
