Measurement of Articulation in Pediatric Users of Cochlear Implants.
Chin, Steven B.; Kaiser, Cara Lento
Volta Review, v102 n4 p145-56 2000
A study involving 20 children (ages 4-9) using cochlear implants compared the articulation of those who used oral communication only (n=10) and those who used total communication (TC). Results from the Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation indicate those using only oral communication committed significantly fewer errors than TC users. (Contains references.) (CR)
