background and aim: although recent research has revealed the positive effects of bilin­gualism on children's cognitive abilities, little information is available on the relationship bet­ween bilingualism and working memory. working memory is generally composed of four dis­tinct parts, among which the phonological loop plays an important role in speech and language development, reading skills, ...

conclusions this study revealed that the type of hearing loss, presence in the rehabilitation program, and the age of cochlear implantation can be major prognostic factors of the response to the treatment, then the country’s health policy makers and health planners must executively take into account the infants’ hearing screening program during the first 6 month of age. results the mean and the...
