Working Memory Spans as Predictors of Word Recognition and Receptive Vocabulary in Children with Cochlear Implants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cleary, Miranda; Pisoni, David B.; Kirk, Karen Iler – Volta Review, 2000
A study investigated whether differences in working memory could account for variance in word recognition and receptive vocabulary skills of children (ages 5-16) using oral communication (n=32) and total communication (n=29). A contribution from working memory was observed only for the span tasks that incorporated an auditory processing component.…

Measurement of Articulation in Pediatric Users of Cochlear Implants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chin, Steven B.; Kaiser, Cara Lento – Volta Review, 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…

Consonant Cluster Production by Pediatric Users of Cochlear Implants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chin, Steven B.; Finnegan, Kevin R. – Volta Review, 2000
Production of 19 word-initial two-segment consonant clusters was examined in 12 children (ages 6-16) with cochlear implants, including 6 using oral communication and 6 using total communication. Results showed that 48% of the clusters were correctly produced (75% correct for oral communication users and 21% correct for total communication users).…

Speech Intelligibility of Profoundly Deaf Pediatric Hearing Aid Users.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Svirsky, Mario A.; Chin, Steven B.; Miyamoto, Richard T.; Sloan, Robert B.; Caldwell, Matthew D. – Volta Review, 2000
A study examined the speech intelligibility of children (ages 1-15) with deafness who use hearing aids. Data revealed a strong significant trend toward higher intelligibility for children with more residual hearing, and a significant trend toward higher intelligibility for users of oral communication than those using total communication. (Contains…
