Dataset Summary
The Redmond Sentence Recall (RSR) measures a child’s ability to repeat sentences that contain regular past tense forms and past participle forms (e.g., “He kicked” vs. “He was kicked”). This task helps identify language impairments, with each child repeating 16 sentences heard through headphones. The dataset includes anonymized audio recordings of these repetitions.
What makes the RSR dataset uniquely valuable is its focus on sentence recall using both regular past tense and past participle forms, which are key markers in diagnosing language impairments in children. This makes it a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in speech and language processing, as it offers detailed, real-world data for studying sentence recall abilities, training machine learning models to detect impairments, and developing more precise diagnostic tools for clinical use.
Example Use Cases:
Speech and language research: Analyze sentence recall and grammatical structure in children, comparing repetition patterns between those with typical language development and those with impairments.
Speech processing models: Train and evaluate machine learning models to automatically assess sentence recall performance and detect language impairments.
Clinical diagnostics: Support the development of diagnostic tools to identify language impairments, using sentence recall as a key indicator of language processing abilities.

Dataset Structure
We are releasing only the anonymized audio files to the public. The dataset includes a folder containing 1,058 audio files, each corresponding to a child's repetition of sentences in the task.
Source Data
The data was originally collected by Sean Redmond link and his research team. The collection focused on evaluating sentence recall as a diagnostic measure for identifying language impairments in children. A detailed manual outlining the data collection methodology and structure is available here.
Annotations
Annotations for the dataset, such as sentence-level transcriptions or metadata, are not being released at this time.
Personal and Sensitive Information
ll the data has been fully anonymized by Sean Redmond's group to protect the privacy of the participants. There are no personal identifiers in the released dataset.
