Supplemental Videos for the Infant-Toddler Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale

Volta Review, v118 n1-2 p41-59 Nov 2018
The Infant-Toddler Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (IT-MAIS) is used to assess auditory development in young children with hearing loss. Despite being widely used, previous research showed that its psychometric properties are not ideal. As a first step toward psychometric advancements of the IT-MAIS, this study aimed to create videos with strong content validity that can later be used to supplement the IT-MAIS questions and ultimately improve its reliability. Researchers first surveyed 10 pediatric audiologists to determine how representative 6 different video scripts were of their corresponding IT-MAIS questions. Researchers then filmed the top-rated scripts. Finally, researchers surveyed an additional 25 pediatric audiologists and 25 caregivers unfamiliar with the IT-MAIS to assess the videos' content validity. Analyses showed that the audiologists and caregivers agreed on which video best depicted each of the 10 ITMAIS questions, thus suggesting that the videos had strong content validity.
