Computer-Mediated Assessment of Intelligibility in Aphasia and Apraxia of Speech.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Previous work indicates that single word intelligibility tests developed for dysarthria are sensitive to segmental production errors in aphasic individuals with and without apraxia of speech. However, potential listener learning effects and difficulties adapting elicitation procedures to coexisting language impairments limit their applicability to left hemisphere stroke survivors. AIMS: The main purpose of this study was to examine basic psychometric properties for a new monosyllabic intelligibility test developed for individuals with aphasia and/or AOS. A related purpose was to examine clinical feasibility and potential to standardize a computer-mediated administration approach. METHODS #ENTITYSTARTX00026; PROCEDURES: A 600-item monosyllabic single word intelligibility test
