Shortened Nonword Repetition Task (NWR-S)

The Nonword Repetition Task assesses interactions between the auditory system, phonological representations, articulation, vocabulary, and literacy. During the task, children are asked to repeat nonwords of two, three, four or five syllables with differing phonotactic probabilities. The original NWR task consists of 40 nonwords, whereas the short version (NWR-S) consists of only 22 nonwords.
