These data provide a coherent view of the spoken language and reading skills of children receiving cochlear implants. The data reveal both spoken language gains and clear benefit to these children with regard to reading. Improvement in reading is consistent with predictions based on prior research demonstrating a strong association between spoken language and reading. An intervention such as a cochlear implant has a direct effect on spoken language, and this can subsequently affect reading performance. This provides some of the first experimental evidence supporting the causal relationship between spoken language and reading.
这些数据提供了接受人工耳蜗植入的儿童口语和阅读技能的连贯视图。数据显示了这些儿童在口语方面的进步以及在阅读方面的明显益处。阅读能力的提高与基于先前研究的预测一致，先前研究表明口语和阅读之间存在密切关联。像人工耳蜗植入这样的干预措施对口语有直接影响，进而会影响阅读表现。这提供了一些最早的实验证据，支持口语和阅读之间的因果关系。
