Characterizing the Relationship Between the Intelligibility in Context Scale and Transcription Intelligibility in Typically Developing English-Speaking Children Between Ages 2;6 and 9;11.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The goal of the present study was to quantify the relationship between Intelligibility in Context Scale (ICS) scores and transcription intelligibility scores of typically developing English-speaking children when the confounding effects of age were controlled.

Method

Five hundred forty-five typically developing children aged 2;6 to 9;11 (years;months) participated in the study. Parents of each child participant completed the ICS. Naïve listeners orthographically transcribed speech samples from child participants. To control the effect of age, we computed Spearman correlation values between the transcription intelligibility scores and ICS scores stratified by age bands. To estimate the relationship between the transcription intelligibility score and ICS scores across
