Standardization of the Prosody in Use Battery (PUB): a speech prosody perception test in Danish.

We report the results of the six subtests, in which we observed a bias to compounds in the compound/phrase subtest, and to statements in question/statement subtest. The pronoun reference subtest assessed the ability of a listener to infer a referent from the stress status of a pronoun, and we found high accuracy rates on this task indicating that it is suitable for inclusion in the battery. We discuss the possible uses of the Prosody in Use Battery in cochlear implant mapping and device verification. We also consider the role of the results from the test battery in guiding clinicians to material suitable for aural rehabilitation. PMID: 31112661 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
