Measuring open-set, word recognition in school-aged children: Corpus of monosyllabic target words and speech maskers

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: A corpus of stimuli has been collected to support the use of common materials across research laboratories to examine school-aged children's word recognition in speech maskers. The corpus includes (1) 773 monosyllabic words that are known to be in the lexicon of 5- and 6-year-olds and (2) seven masker passages that are based on a first-grade child's writing samples. Materials were recorded by a total of 13 talkers (8 women; 5 men). All talkers recorded two masker passages; 3 talkers (2 women; 1 man) also recorded the target words. The annotated corpus is freely available online for research purposes.
