This study compared children's performance on two tests of articulation. Children ranging in age from five years, four months to eleven years, six months were administered the Deep Test of Articulation and the Arizona Articulation Proficiency Scale: Revised. Comparisons between the tests were made of performance on individual sounds, total test performance, and differences in children identified as potentially in need of remediation. Results revealed differences in performance across tests on 15 of 21 sounds tested. Performance of almost 83% of the subjects varied across tests on at least one sound. Although some individual sounds displayed considerable variation between tests, total test performance and conclusions were similar. The data indicated, however, that the AAPS may fail to identify some children with consistent errors on relatively few sounds. The results are related to previous research, and clinical implications are discussed.
本研究比较了儿童在两项发音测试中的表现。对年龄在5岁4个月至11岁6个月之间的儿童进行了深度发音测试和修订后的亚利桑那发音能力量表测试。对两项测试在单个音素的表现、测试总成绩以及被确定可能需要矫正的儿童差异方面进行了比较。结果显示，在测试的21个音素中有15个音素在两项测试中的表现存在差异。近83%的受试者在至少一个音素的测试中表现不同。尽管某些单个音素在两项测试之间表现出相当大的差异，但测试总成绩和结论相似。然而，数据表明，亚利桑那发音能力量表可能无法识别出一些在相对较少音素上存在持续错误的儿童。研究结果与先前的研究相关，并讨论了其临床意义。
