We investigated relations between sustained visual attention, behavioral inhibition skills, and speech-language outcomes in prelingually deaf children who use cochlear implants (CIs) using two computerized continuous performance tasks (CPTs). One test measured their ability to sustain visual attention to a string of numbers and another test measured their ability to delay a behavioral response. Performance on latter task was related to postimplant scores on tests of vocabulary knowledge, language skills, and speech intelligibility. We conclude that behavioral inhibition skills of prelingually deaf children are related to several audiological outcome measures in deaf children with CIs. Our findings suggest that further investigation is warranted into executive functions and subvocal rehearsal skills of deaf children with CIs.
我们使用两项计算机化的连续操作任务（CPT），研究了使用人工耳蜗（CI）的语前聋儿童的持续视觉注意力、行为抑制技能与言语语言结果之间的关系。一项测试测量了他们对一串数字持续保持视觉注意力的能力，另一项测试测量了他们延迟行为反应的能力。后一项任务的表现与植入后词汇知识、语言技能和言语可懂度测试的分数相关。我们得出结论，语前聋儿童的行为抑制技能与使用CI的聋儿的几种听力学结果指标相关。我们的研究结果表明，有必要对使用CI的聋儿的执行功能和默读复述技能进行进一步研究。
