Bankson-Bernthal test of phonology: Reliability and validity study for Turkish language

Abstract

Articulation and phonology tests based on standardized picture naming are widely used in the assessment of speech skills of children with hearing loss. Aim of this study is to conduct norm, validity and reliability study by adapting The Bankson-Bernthal Test of Phonology (BBTOP), which is a suitable phonological test for clinical use, into Turkish. The word list of the test was created and illustrated in accordance with the language rules of Turkish consonants, at the initial and final of the word positions, from objects recognizable by children. The study was conducted on children aged 3-9 years old (36-119 months), 208 girls and 233 boys (n = 441) and analyzed accordingly. The internal consistency coefficient of the test was obtained as  = .87 for consonants and  = .74 for phonological processes. The reliability analysis of the BBTOP, the correlation value of consonants was r = .87 and the correlation value of phonological processes was r = .80. Factor analysis has been made for "Construct Validity". Factor loadings were found to be 3 factors for phonological processes and 8 factors for consonants in the validity analysis between the scores; correlation between word score and consonants score was r = -.93, correlation between word score and phonological processes score was r = -.87, correlation between consonants score and phonological processes score was r = .84. BBTOP is a valid and reliable assessment tool and suitable for the assessment of children speaking standard Turkish with articulation and phonological disorders.
