This study analyzed the effects of training on the interrater reliability of auditory-perceptual analysis of voice and laryngeal videostroboscopic ratings as well as training influence on rater confidence. Twenty-nine speech-language pathology (SLP) graduate students were trained in audio-perceptual and laryngeal videostroboscopic ratings. Pre-training and post-training questionnaires assessed participant experience in clinical voice evaluation and confidence using rating tools. Audio samples of dysphonic and normal speaking voices were rated by participants using the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V). Following initial ratings, the participants were trained on auditory-perceptual analysis and the CAPE-V using textual and auditory anchors consisting of voice samples that were selected to exemplify each parameter. Participants then completed post-training ratings without the use of anchors. Laryngeal videostroboscopic recordings of pathologic and normal patients were then rated by SLP graduate students using a standard form for commonly evaluated parameters. Following initial ratings, participants were trained on visuo-perceptual analysis using textual and visual anchors of pathologic and normal videostroboscopic samples. Participants completed post-training ratings without the use of anchors. Outcomes reveal training increases accuracy for certain parameter types. While confidence increased significantly, no formal conclusions can be drawn. No relationship between rater confidence and reliability was observed.
