Zhang, Changxin; Li, Mingying; Yu, Jie; Liu, Chang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Depicting the development pattern of vowel perception for children with normal hearing (NH) and cochlear implants (CIs) would be useful for clinicians and school teachers to monitor children's auditory rehabilitation. The study was to investigate the development of Mandarin Chinese vowel perception for Mandarin Chinese native-speaking…

Gustafson, Samantha J.; Ricketts, Todd A.; Picou, Erin M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study sought to evaluate the effects of common hearing aid microphone technologies on speech recognition and listening effort, and to evaluate potential predictive factors related to microphone benefits for school-age children with hearing loss in a realistic listening situation. Method: Children (n = 17, ages 10-17 years) with…

Pasquinelli, Rennie; Tessier, Anne Michelle; Karas, Zachary; Hu, Xiaosu; Kovelman, Ioulia – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The fine-tuning of linguistic prosody in later childhood is poorly understood, and its neurological processing is even less well studied. In particular, it is unknown if grammatical processing of prosody is left- or rightlateralized in childhood versus adulthood and how phonological working memory might modulate such lateralization.…

Volpato, Francesca – First Language, 2020
Verbal working memory resources may impact syntax comprehension. Thirteen Italian children with cochlear implants (CIs) were assessed in relative clause (RC) comprehension, digit span and nonword repetition and compared to 13 chronological age peers (CA) and 13 younger controls (LA) with normal hearing (NH). The RC comprehension task tested…

Talli, Ioanna; Tsalighopoulos, Miltiadis; Okalidou, Areti – First Language, 2018
Weak performance in short-term memory (STM) in children with cochlear implants (CI) may have an impact on vocabulary development. Vocabulary, phonological STM (non-word repetition), phonological/verbal STM (digit span) and rapid naming measures were administered to 15 Greek-speaking children with CI (ages 4;6-8;6) and to chronological age (CA) and…

Johnson, Carol; Goswami, Usha – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2010
Purpose: To explore the phonological awareness skills of deaf children with cochlear implants (CIs) and relationships with vocabulary and reading development. Method: Forty-three deaf children with implants who were between 5 and 15 years of age were tested; 21 had been implanted at around 2.5 years of age (Early CI group), and 22 had been…
