While open\u2010set intelligibility testing is widely used, a closed\u2010set phonetic intelligibility assessment, which evaluates listener perception of systematically varied speech contrasts, offers a focused approach to identifying segmental errors that impact intelligibility. However, such tools are unavailable in Hebrew.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study introduces a novel, preliminary closed\u2010set phonetic intelligibility tool designed for Hebrew speakers with development motor speech disorders, examining its utility in identifying phonetic contrasts produced in error by speakers with Down syndrome (DS), and determining overall error profiles of contrast categories.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and Procedures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Recordings from 23 Hebrew\u2010speaking adults with DS, between the ages of 21 and 37 years, were analyzed using a closed\u2010set intelligibility paradigm, wherein na\u00efve listeners selected perceived words from contrast\u2010based minimal pairs. Error rates were calculated for individual phonetic contrasts and contrast categories (voicing, place, manner, vowels, and syllable structure). Closed\u2010set intelligibility assessment scores were compared with those of open\u2010set assessments, and phonetic profiles of individual contrasts and categories were formed across speakers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Outcomes and Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Closed\u2010set intelligibility scores were higher than open\u2010set transcription accuracy scores. Voicing contrasts, particularly in coda position, were most frequently impaired and significantly correlated with closed\u2010set intelligibility scores. The overall contrast\u2010category profile of the speakers with DS demonstrated voice, place, and manner difficulties across speakers, with only minimal vowel errors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Hebrew closed\u2010set intelligibility tool successfully identified contrast\u2010specific deficits relevant to speech intelligibility in speakers with DS.
