The Picture Identification Task was developed to estimate the word-recognition performance of nonverbal adults. Four lists of 50 monosyllabic words each were assembled and recorded. Each test word and three rhyming alternatives were illustrated and photographed in a quadrant arrangement. The task of the patient was to point to the picture representing the recorded word that was presented through the earphone. In the first experiment with young adults, no significant differences were found between the Picture Identification Task and the Northwestern University Auditory Test No. 6 materials in an open-set response paradigm. In the second experiment, the Picture Identification Task with the picture-pointing response was compared with the Northwestern University Auditory Test No. 6 in both an open-set and a closed-set response paradigm. The results from this experiment demonstrated significant differences among the three response tasks. The easiest task was a closed-set response to words, the next was a closed-set response to pictures, and the most difficult task was an open-set response. At high stimulus-presentation levels, however, the three tasks produced similar results. Finally, the clinical use of the Picture Identification Task is described along with preliminary results obtained from 30 patients with various communicative impairments.
图片识别任务旨在评估非言语成人的单词识别能力。共收集并录制了四组单词列表，每组包含50个单音节词。每个测试单词及其三个押韵变体都以象限排列的方式进行了图示和拍照。患者的任务是指向代表通过耳机呈现的已录制单词的图片。在针对年轻人的第一个实验中，在开放式反应范式下，图片识别任务与西北大学听觉测试第6号材料之间未发现显著差异。在第二个实验中，将带有图片指向反应的图片识别任务与西北大学听觉测试第6号在开放式和封闭式反应范式下进行了比较。该实验结果表明这三种反应任务之间存在显著差异。最简单的任务是对单词的封闭式反应，其次是对图片的封闭式反应，最困难的任务是开放式反应。然而，在高刺激呈现水平下，这三项任务产生了相似的结果。最后，介绍了图片识别任务的临床应用以及从30名患有各种交流障碍的患者身上获得的初步结果。
