Analysis of half-list scores on the PB-K 50 as a function of time compression and age.
Half-list speech discrimination measures have certain advantages in clinical measurement, particularly with children. In the present study, half-list and whole-list comparisons of the PB-K 50 measure under normal and time-compressed conditions were made on children's speech discrimination scores. Results indicated that half-lists of the PB-K 50 can be used effectively in the clinical setting, a practice which has clinical precedence.
