Inter-rater reliability as a reflection of ambiguity in the communication of deaf and normally-hearing children.

Abstract:

:This study involves (a) procedures for coding intentionality and communicative function from the behavior of young children, (b) determining inter-rater reliability on those decisions, and (c) making judgments about which data to use for presentation and analysis. Communication data from videotaped interactions of 48 deaf and 96 normally-hearing children (12-54 months of age) and their mothers were obtained from two independent coders. As predicted, the percent-agreement between coders was higher for older children and for hearing children compared to deaf children. It is argued that the ambiguity reflected in poor coder agreement for less skilled communicators may represent the extent to which these children are understood. It is suggested that for such children data analysis should be restricted to those behaviors on which two independent coders agree.
