A children's Spanish word discrimination test for non-Spanish-speaking clinicians.
A picture-pointing speech discrimination test which can be efficiently administered by English-speaking clinicians to Spanish-speaking children was developed. The test consists of four lists of 25 bisyllabic words. Two syllable words were chosen as stimuli instead of the traditional monosyllabic words because of the limited number of concrete monosyllabic words in Spanish. These words were recorded in Spanish on the first channel of an audio tape and in English on the second channel. The purpose of this dual recording was to present the Spanish stimuli to the subjects at the same time the clinicians monitored the appropriateness of responses in English.
