Abstract

OBJECTIVE

Hearing loss is associated with reduced quality and quantity of auditory input, and difficulty in cognitive and language skills. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between language, working memory, and rapid naming skills in children with mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss (MMHL).

METHODS

Twenty children with MMHL with the same auditory experience and demographical conditions using bilateral hearing aids were included. Verbal memory subscale of the Working Memory Scale (WMS), consisting of verbal short-term memory (V-STM) and verbal working memory (V-WM) subtests, was administered to all participants. They also completed rapid automatized naming tasks and standardized language measures.

RESULTS

The language score showed a moderate and significant correlation with verbal memory (VM) score (p = 0.03, r = 0.48) and a moderate and negative correlation with rapid automatized naming (RAN) duration (p = 0.06, r = -0.61). The VM score showed a moderate and significant negative correlation with RAN duration (p = 0.01, r = -0.67). The language level has a strong and significant positive correlation with V-STM (p = 0.007, r = 0.60), V-WM (p = 0.009, r = 0.58), and VM level (p = 0.003, r = 0.65). VM subtests levels have a strong and significant positive correlation with each other (p = 0.017, r = 0.53). RAN level has a strong and significant negative correlation with VM (p = 0.001, r = -0.70), V-WM (p = 0.001, r = -0.76), V-STM (p = 0.001, r = -0.69), and language level (p = 0.001, r = -0.77).

CONCLUSION

The results suggest that the language, verbal working memory, and rapid naming skills of children with MMHL are closely related. It is recommended that the relationship between verbal short-term memory, verbal working memory, rapid naming skills, and language skills should be considered in therapeutic and educational settings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the relationships between verbal-short-term -working memory, duration of rapid automatized naming, and language skills in children with MMHL.

摘要

目的

听力损失与听觉输入的质量和数量减少以及认知和语言技能的困难有关。本研究旨在探讨轻度至中度感音神经性听力损失（MMHL）儿童的语言、工作记忆和快速命名技能之间的关系。

方法

纳入了 20 名使用双侧助听器具有相同听觉经验和人口统计学条件的 MMHL 儿童。所有参与者均进行了工作记忆量表（WMS）的言语记忆子量表测试，包括言语短期记忆（V-STM）和言语工作记忆（V-WM）子测验。他们还完成了快速自动命名任务和标准化语言测试。

结果

语言分数与言语记忆（VM）分数呈中等显著相关性（p=0.03，r=0.48），与快速自动命名（RAN）持续时间呈中等负相关（p=0.06，r=-0.61）。VM 分数与 RAN 持续时间呈中度显著负相关（p=0.01，r=-0.67）。语言水平与 V-STM（p=0.007，r=0.60）、V-WM（p=0.009，r=0.58）和 VM 水平（p=0.003，r=0.65）均呈强正相关。VM 子测试水平之间呈强正相关（p=0.017，r=0.53）。RAN 水平与 VM（p=0.001，r=-0.70）、V-WM（p=0.001，r=-0.76）、V-STM（p=0.001，r=-0.69）和语言水平（p=0.001，r=-0.77）呈强负相关。
