• Repeat this until the criterion for threshold is met

• Remember: Criterion = 50%

• According to ASHA (1978), when 3 out of 6 presentations result in a response, threshold is achieved Behavioral Measures

• Speech Detection Threshold • Speech Reception Threshold • Speech Recognition/Discrimination – Word Recognition Score • Most Comfortable Listening Level (MCL) • Uncomfortable Listening Level (UCL) SDT

• Speech Detection Threshold – Sound Awareness Threshold (SAT) – Detection – Threshold • Lowest Level that speech can be detected or heard 50% of the time – Common Populations SRT

• Speech Reception Threshold – Reception/Recognition – Threshold • Softest level that stimuli can be repeated/understood 50% of the time – Populations SDT/SRT

• Stimuli – Spondaic Words (Spondees) SRT/SDT

• Measure of Pure Tone Test validity – Comparison to PTA (what you have all been waiting for!)
