Use of a Monosyllabic Adaptive Speech Test (MAST) with Young Children. Research Note.

Mackie, Kerrie; Dermody, Phillip

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v29 n2 p275-81 Jun 1986

The monosyllabic adaptive speech test (MAST) procedures were found to be reliable with children as young as 3. The accuracy of the MAST estimate of 50% speech threshold was confirmed in 60 hearing imparied and normal children 3-7 years old. With 10 hearing impaired children, MAST threshold was significantly correlated with pure-tone loss. (CL)
