Automatic measurement of learning level in children aged 4 to 6 years using the Plon method and signal processing techniques.

Abstract

Introduction: Psychopedagogy is the discipline that studies human behavior, it focuses on how subjects learn and develop, in addition to the difficulties they present during the acquisition of new learning. The Navarra Oral Language Test - PLON, is one of the methods used to measure the degree of learning in children and is specifically focused on children aged 4, 5 and 6 years (1), (2). On the other hand, PLON seeks to detect early children in whom linguistic development is not adequate in order to act in a compensatory way. Currently, there is no application that automatically measures the degree of learning in children and that has different levels of applicability. Thus, signal processing provides the possibility of manipulating signals captured through electronic equipment and likewise, voice processing has allowed the development of different applications such as dialogue between man and machine (3), (4). This article presents the implementation of a tool that allows for automatic, real-time measurement of the learning level of children between the ages of 4 and 6.
