ChildASA dataset: Speech and Noise Material for Child-appropriate Paradigms on Auditory Selective Attention

This dataset contains speech and noise material for a paradigm to investigate intentional switching of auditory selective attention in children. Two-syllable animal names were recorded from a male child and a female adult speaker. The spoken words were cut to the same length and adjusted to the same loudness to fulfill the requirements of a synchronous presentation. The noise material consists of a German four-talker-babble, recorded from children (all female), and a speech-shaped noise with the long-term spectrum of the children’s four-talker-babble.

本数据集包含用于研究儿童听觉选择性注意主动切换实验范式的语音与噪声素材。实验所用的双音节动物名称分别由一名男性儿童与一名成年女性发声者录制。所有录制语音均被裁切至统一时长，并调整至相同响度，以满足同步呈现的实验需求。噪声素材包含两类：一是由全女性儿童录制的德语四人谈话杂声（four-talker-babble），二是采用该儿童四人谈话杂声长期频谱的语音形噪声（speech-shaped noise）。
