Predicting Numeracy Using Speech Recognition
Project Description
Numeracy is the ability to understand and use numbers in everyday life, a skill that is essential for success in various fields. Numeracy has been found to be a strong predictor of cognitive abilities such as decision-making and risk assessment. Studies have shown that individuals who possess strong numeracy skills are more likely to make better financial decisions and accumulate wealth. In terms of predicting overall decision-making performance, research has found that numeracy tests are more accurate and efficient than other cognitive tests. The Berlin Numeracy Components Test, which measures full-scale numeracy (conventional and statistical numeracy), alone accounted for 34% of the total variance in overall decision-making skill, whereas other cognitive ability tests combined accounted for only about 30%. Overall, numeracy skills are crucial for individuals to make informed decisions in various aspects of life. Numeracy tests are effective predictors of cognitive abilities, especially when compared to other cognitive tests.
Therefore, accurately predicting an individual's numeracy abilities is important for identifying their strengths and weaknesses. This ability to classify individuals based on their numeracy skills can revolutionize various industries.
To achieve this goal, our study aims to develop a speech-based numeracy test that predicts numeracy ability. The proposed test will provide a stress-free and efficient method for predicting numeracy skills in individuals, making it a valuable tool in various fields. By providing a reliable and accurate assessment of numeracy abilities, this test can significantly benefit individuals and organizations alike.
