Abstract
Objective: The goal of the Arizona Child Acoustic Database project was to obtain a large set of acoustic recordings, primarily vowels, collected from a cohort of children over a critical period of growth and development. Method: 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, nonsense multi-vowel transitions, word level multi-vowel sequences (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. Conclusion: Longitudinal recordings may be of interest because they allow tracking of acoustic characteristics produced by an individual child during a period of rapid growth and speech development.
