Auditec Auditory Test W-22, Form C, Short Interval

The W-22 Form C Short Interval© is a phonetically balanced test for word recognition (i.e. speech discrimination), made up of consonant-nucleus (CN), nucleus-consonant (NC) and consonant-nucleus-consonant (CNC) words. The talker has a General American dialect. The articulation function is approximately 4% /dB.

This W-22 Form C product includes all of the same 200 W-22 words as Form A, but they are presented in a different sequence to prevent memorization.

This short-interval version of the test gives the patient 2.5 seconds to respond instead of the standard four seconds. It is an effective way to speed up administration time, but this version is not recommended for young children or the elderly. The administration time for the short interval is 7-13 minutes instead of 10-18 minutes for the standard interval.
