AI for Speech-Language Pathologists Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. Why might an AI list of '/k/ words' include 'knife' or 'city'?
   • The model was trained only on medical text
   • Language models work with spelling rather than sounds
   • Those words are common in children's books
   • The model favors longer words
2. A child says 'wabbit' and ASR transcribes 'rabbit.' What problem does this show?
   • ASR cannot handle animal words
   • The transcription is too slow
   • The microphone was too far away
   • ASR tends to turn errors into the intended word, which hides the error being measured
3. According to the guide, what does Google's Project Relate aim to do?
   • Generate minimal pair cards
   • Score IEP goals
   • Improve recognition of atypical speech by learning from the user's own recordings
   • Replace language sample analysis
4. Which prompt technique does the technical section recommend for more accurate word lists?
   • Ask for an IPA transcription next to each word and specify position, syllable count and blends
   • Ask for the words in alphabetical order
   • Ask for twice as many words
   • Use only one-syllable words
5. Why should SLPs test an articulation app's automatic feedback against their own ears?
   • A wrong 'correct' signal can reinforce errors
   • Apps do not record audio
   • ASHA bans automatic feedback
   • The feedback only works in English
6. For which speakers does the guide say ASR error rates rise sharply?
   • Adult newscasters
   • People reading from a script
   • Professional voice actors
   • Children and people with speech sound disorders, dysarthria or stuttering
7. A child fronts /k/ to /t/. Which minimal pair from the guide fits?
   • 'cat' and 'bat'
   • 'key' and 'tea'
   • 'sun' and 'fun'
   • 'ship' and 'sip'
8. What recording advice does the technical section give for speech analysis?
   • Record in a busy room to reflect real life
   • Delete the audio after transcribing, for privacy
   • Record in a quiet room with the microphone at a consistent distance, and keep the original audio
   • Always record through a phone speaker
