Ein neues Kodierschema als Basis für die klinische Beurteilung frühkindlicher Vokalisationen und Deep Acoustic Phenotyping

Zusammenfassung: Theoretischer Hintergrund: Die frühe verbale Entwicklung ist vor allem in ihrer Entstehungsphase noch nicht vollständig verstanden. Fragestellung: lässt sich ein zuverlässiges, einfach anzuwendendes Kodierschema zur Klassifizierung frühkindlicher Vokalisationen definieren, das als Grundlage für die weitere Analyse der Sprachentwicklung anwendbar ist? Methode: In einer Längsschnittstudie mit 45 neurotypischen Säuglingen analysierten wir Vokalisationen der ersten 4 Lebensmonate. Audiosegmente wurden 5 Klassen zugeordnet: (1) Stimmhafte und (2) Stimmlose Lautäußerung; (3) Definiertes Signal; (4) Non-Target; (5) Nicht zuordenbar. Ergebnisse: Zwei Kodiererinnen mit unterschiedlicher Erfahrung erzielten ohne intensives Training hohe Übereinstimmung. Diskussion und Schlussfolgerung: Das reliable Schema kann in Forschung und Klinik für die effiziente Kodierung kindlicher Vokalisationen eingesetzt werden, als Grundlage für detaillierte manuelle und maschinelle Analysen.
