Nonword repetition and reading in deaf children with cochlear implants.

چکیده
In this study, we report analyses of nonword repetition responses from 76 experienced pediatric cochlear implants users. Nonword repetition performance reflects the participants' reliance on their phonological system, which has been found to be related to phonological awareness skills and reading in normal-hearing children. We found that nonword repetition performance was strongly correlated with several measures of reading readiness and reading in deaf children with cochlear implants. Correlations between nonword repetition performance and reading indicate that the children relied on their knowledge of phonology to complete the reading tasks.

Phonological Processing Skills and the Development of Reading in Deaf Children Who Use Cochlear Implants
The acquisition of reading and literacy skills in normal-hearing children has been found to be closely related to the development of phonological knowledge and the use of phonological processing skills. Phonological processing is often measured using a nonword repetition task in which a child relies on phonological knowledge and abstract phonological representations in order to decompose, encod...
متن کاملNonword Repetition and Reading in Deaf Children with Cochlear Implants1
In the present study, we report analyses of nonword repetition responses from 76 experienced pediatric cochlear implant (CI) users. Immediate repetition of a spoken nonword stimulus requires a child to correctly perceive a novel sound pattern, maintain a representation and rehearse it in phonological working memory, and then reproduce a phonological pattern as an output response. Nonword repeti...

Seventy-six profoundly deaf children with cochlear implants completed a nonword repetition task. The children were presented with 20 nonword auditory patterns over a loudspeaker and were asked to repeat them aloud to the experimenter. All of the children were deaf before the age of 36 months. At the time of testing the children were between 8 and 9 years old. All but three of the children used ...
متن کاملWorking Memory Capacity, Verbal Rehearsal Speed, and Scanning in Deaf Children with Cochlear Implants
Cochlear implants have been an effective intervention for many profoundly deaf adults and children. Specifically, in prelingually deaf children, cochlear implants provide the first exposure to both environmental sounds and spoken language. After gaining access to sound and spoken language, many children using cochlear implants have been found to develop language with a developmental trajectory ...
متن کاملNonword repetition with spectrally reduced speech: some developmental and clinical findings from pediatric cochlear implantation.
Nonword repetition skills were examined in 24 pediatric cochlear implant (CI) users and 18 normal-hearing (NH) adult listeners listening through a CI simulator. Two separate groups of NH adult listeners assigned accuracy ratings to the nonword responses of the pediatric CI users and the NH adult speakers. Overall, the nonword repetitions of children using CIs were rated as more accurate than th...
