This study investigated the role of sequential processing in spoken language outcomes for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), ages 5;3-11;4, by comparing them to children with typical hearing (TH), ages 6;3-9;7, on sequential learning and memory tasks involving easily nameable and difficult-to-name visual stimuli. Children who are DHH performed more poorly on easily nameable sequencing tasks, which positively predicted receptive vocabulary scores. Results suggest sequential learning and memory may underlie delayed language skills of many children who are DHH. Implications for language development in children who are DHH are discussed.
本研究通过比较 5 岁 3 个月至 11 岁 4 个月的听力障碍(DHH)儿童与 6 岁 3 个月至 9 岁 7 岁的正常听力(TH)儿童,研究了序列处理在口语语言结果中的作用,他们在涉及易命名和难命名视觉刺激的序列学习和记忆任务上表现不同。DHH 儿童在易命名的排序任务上表现较差,这与接受性词汇分数呈正相关。结果表明,序列学习和记忆可能是许多 DHH 儿童语言技能发育迟缓的基础。讨论了对 DHH 儿童语言发展的影响。
