Visual Memory and Cochlear Implants
Recent findings suggest that children developing spoken language while using a cochlear implant (CI) perform more poorly than normal-hearing (NH) children on short-term visual/visual-spatial sequence memory tasks, particularly when verbal recoding and verbal rehearsal strategies for the visual/visual-spatial information are possible. The present study examined the performance of children with C...
متن کاملThe Effect of Working Memory Rehabilitation on Visual Memory and Memory Span
Introduction: Age-related cognitive decline or cognitive aging is largely the result of structural and functional decline in specific areas of the brain, but lifestyle also contributes to this cognitive decline. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of working memory rehabilitation on visual memory and memory span in ageing. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pret...
متن کاملSpeech Recognition in Adults With Cochlear Implants: The Effects of Working Memory, Phonological Sensitivity, and Aging.
Purpose Models of speech recognition suggest that "top-down" linguistic and cognitive functions, such as use of phonotactic constraints and working memory, facilitate recognition under conditions of degradation, such as in noise. The question addressed in this study was what happens to these functions when a listener who has experienced years of hearing loss obtains a cochlear implant. Method...
متن کاملVerbal working memory and inhibition‐concentration in adults with cochlear implants
Objectives Neurocognitive functions contribute to speech recognition in postlingual adults with cochlear implants (CIs). In particular, better verbal working memory (WM) on modality-specific (auditory) WM tasks predicts better speech recognition. It remains unclear, however, whether this association can be attributed to basic underlying modality-general neurocognitive functions, or whether it i...
متن کاملWorking memory in deaf children with cochlear implants: correlations between digit span and measures of spoken language processing.
This correlational study investigated the role of working memory in speech intelligibility, speech intelligibility, language processing and reading in a group of 43 prelingually deaf children with cochlear implants. Using the digit span subtests of the WISC as a measure of working memory capacity, moderate to high correlations were obtained between forward auditory digit span and each of the fo...
