“…Reliability can be defined as the consistency of a test's results across a series of different observations (Ostergard, 1983). This means that the test results should stay consistent if the test is repeated; either by the same test administrator, or by a different administrator.…”

“…The reliability of the test also depends on the stability of results across different forms or lists of the same test, also called inter-list reliability (Ostergard, 1983;Nilsson et al, 1994). The equivalence in difficulty between lists is of primary importance in a SRN test.…”

Tests of sentence recognition in noise constitute an essential tool for the assessment of auditory abilities that are representative of everyday listening experiences. A number of recent articles have reported on the development of such tests, documenting different approaches and methods. However, both the development and interpretation of these tests require careful consideration of many variables. This article reviews and categorizes the stimulus, presentation, subject, response, and performance variables influencing the development and interpretation of tests of sentence recognition in noise. A systematic framework is utilized to document published findings on these variables. Recommendations and guidelines, based on test performance requirements and test objectives, are provided concerning the interpretation of results and the development of new test materials.
