The phonological processing skills of 24 pre-lingually deaf 8- and 9-year-old experienced cochlear implant users were measured using a nonword repetition task. The children heard recordings of 20 nonwords and were asked to repeat each pattern as accurately as possible. Detailed segmental analyses of the consonants in the children's imitation responses were carried out. Overall, 39% of the consonants were imitated correctly. Coronals were produced correctly more often than labials or dorsals. There was no difference in the proportion of correctly reproduced stops, fricatives, nasals, and liquids, or voiced and voiceless consonants. Although nonword repetition performance was not correlated with the children's demographic characteristics, the nonword repetition scores were strongly correlated with other measures of the component processes required for the immediate reproduction of a novel sound pattern: spoken word recognition, language comprehension, working memory, and speech production.
使用非词重复任务对24名8至9岁、语前聋且有经验的人工耳蜗使用者的语音处理技能进行了测量。孩子们听了20个非词的录音，并被要求尽可能准确地重复每个模式。对孩子们模仿反应中的辅音进行了详细的音段分析。总体而言，39%的辅音被正确模仿。舌尖音的正确发音频率高于唇音或舌背音。在正确再现的塞音、擦音、鼻音和流音，或浊辅音和清辅音的比例上没有差异。虽然非词重复表现与孩子们的人口统计学特征无关，但非词重复分数与即时再现新声音模式所需的其他成分过程测量指标密切相关：口语单词识别、语言理解、工作记忆和言语产生。
