Project Description

The Arizona Child Acoustic Database is a longitudinal collection of audio samples from children between the ages of 2-7 years. The long-range goal of this project is to provide new insight into the physical mechanisms of vocal sound production during a critical period of growth and development. These data are being used to inform our efforts of building a model of speech production for child talkers.

Data was recorded longitudinally from 63 children between the ages of 2; 0 and 7; 0 at 3-month intervals. The protocol included individual American English vowels and diphthongs, non- sense multi-vowel transitions, word level multi-vowel se- quences (e.g., Hawaii), single-syllable words targeting each American English vowel, short sentences, and conversation. Results: Acoustic files are available for download through the University of Arizona Library Repository for use in future research projects.

Information on the participants is given in this pdf and the list of tasks is given in this pdf.
