AB  - The objective of this research was to create a Mandarin closed-set sentence 
      recognition test based on the English pediatric speech intelligibility (PSI) test 
      (Jerger & Jerger, 1984 ) for evaluation of speech perception in children as young 
      as three years of age. Developmentally normal children (N = 93), 3-6 years of 
      age, were administered the Mandarin PSI (MPSI) via a computer-controlled 
      protocol. Perfect performance was observed for all children in quiet and at +10 
      and +5 dB signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Significant age and developmental trends 
      were seen for the more difficult SNRs, 0 dB, -5 dB, and -10 dB, with 75% of 5-6 
      year olds reaching the most difficult SNR. Children who reached each of the more 
      difficult SNRs, regardless of age, exhibited the same pattern of performance on 
      all easier conditions, indicating that the final SNR achieved, rather than 
      percent correct scores, may be a better descriptor of performance. The MPSI 
      comprises part of a hierarchical assessment battery for pediatric speech 
      perception for evaluation of intervention alternatives for Mandarin-speaking 
      children with hearing impairment.
