Executive Function, Cognitive Control and Sequence Learning in Deaf Children with Cochlear Implants
The bulk of clinical research on cochlear implants (CIs) has been intellectually isolated from the mainstream of current research and theory in neuroscience, cognitive psychology and developmental neuropsychology. As a consequence, the major clinical research issues have been narrowly focused on speech and language outcomes and efficacy of cochlear implantation as a medical treatment for profou...
متن کاملImplicit Sequence Learning in Hearing Children and Deaf Children with Cochlear Implants
Understanding what cognitive mechanisms contribute to successful language acquisition and development has remained an important but elusive goal of the psychological sciences. Current theories suggest that the ability to learn structured sequential patterns – i.e. ,”implicit” or “statistical” learning -may underlie language processing and development. In this paper, we investigate the role that...
متن کاملImplicit sequence learning in deaf children with cochlear implants.
Deaf children with cochlear implants (CIs) represent an intriguing opportunity to study neurocognitive plasticity and reorganization when sound is introduced following a period of auditory deprivation early in development. Although it is common to consider deafness as affecting hearing alone, it may be the case that auditory deprivation leads to more global changes in neurocognitive function. I...
متن کاملContribution of implicit sequence learning to spoken language processing: some preliminary findings with hearing adults.
Spoken language consists of a complex, sequentially arrayed signal that contains patterns that can be described in terms of statistical relations among language units. Previous research has suggested that a domain-general ability to learn structured sequential patterns may underlie language acquisition. To test this prediction, we examined the extent to which implicit sequence learning of proba...
متن کاملStudy and Comparison of Formant Characteristics of Persian Vowels in 4-7-year-old Children Using Cochlear Implants and Those Using Hearing Aids
Background and Objective: One of the most important physical properties of vowels is their formant structure. One of the most obvious speech errors in hearing-impaired children is vowel errors. The present study aimed to determine and compare the formant structure of Persian vowels in deaf and cochlear implant children in the age range of 4-7 years. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-anal...
