Análise do reconhecimento das figuras do Teste MT Beta-86 modificado para uma adaptação: descrição e discussão de aspectos metodológicos

Abstract

test for subsequent refinement and adaptation of this language assessment instrument. Methods: This study was organized into two parts. The first part of the study involved 61 subjects with educational level higher than nine years. Naming of 266 visual stimuli was elicited and concordance among participants on figure naming was also determined. Concordance of responses was assessed using Cochrane's test at a 5% level of significance. Some visual stimuli were subsequently re-designed and images were replaced. The second part of this study involved the re-testing of the new images among 110 individuals ranging in age from 18 to 75 years of both genders, stratified Conclusão:Identificaram-se quais figuras do Teste MT Beta-86 modificado poderão continuar presentes na próxima versão do instrumento e, por meio da análise do baixo reconhecimento populacional, verificaram-se quais pranchas deverão ser substituídas e quais poderão compor a nova versão do teste.

Translation and Adaptation of the English Story Retell Procedure to Portuguese: A Preliminary Study

“…Moreover, as they were developed in a different culture, it could be hypothesized that the cultural adaptations would not be enough for them to be equally understood and/or retold by healthy speakers. In fact, transcultural adaptations are not easy, even with stimulus that are less complex than stories [21,22]. An initial comparison between them shows that some plots naturally seem more familiar than others such as those for the Water and Baseball stories.…”

Análise do reconhecimento populacional das figuras do sentence production program for aphasia

“…In order for an image to be understood and duly processed, there is a hierarchy of recognition that ensures the image can be recognized accurately. The types of signs featured in the image are first identified: icon signs (drawing), plastic signs (characteristics such as color, shape and texture) and language sign (related to verbal language) (16) . The image is then processed using inferences, which are mental representations the individual has based on their world knowledge (17) .…”

“…In order to analyze the recognition of the context elicited by the pictures, group data collection was performed for 39 young adults with a high educational level. High-educated subjects were chosen because low educational level may have led to poor agreement of answers (2,16) .…”

Elaboração de um Protocolo de Avaliação Instrumental da Fala (PRAINF) baseado em critérios linguísticos e psicométricos

“…The VOP is composed of about 318,000 entries and is based on the Portuguese Language Vocabulary (22) . The words were selected according to the following linguistic criteria: target phoneme in the position of Onset Medial, between the vowel [a], in trisyllabic and paroxytone words, as indicated in a previous study (16) , in order to guarantee standardization for the subsequent comparative analyzes.…”

“…In order to facilitate spontaneous naming, the selected words should be represented by figures, which were chosen taking into consideration three factors: correspondence of the figure with the imageability of the word, that is, the mental image created by the speaker for each word/concept; the figure clearness, so that the figure was self-explanatory and the target word was in evidence; finally, the familiarization of the figures with the Brazilian culture, in order to facilitate the consensual denomination among the speakers (16) . The process of selecting words, figures and evaluating their suitability is shown in Figure 2.…”
