Objectives/Hypothesis Social conversational skills are a salient aspect of early pragmatic development in young children. These include two different abilities, assertiveness and responsiveness. This study investigated the these abilities implanted children their relationships with lexical some language-sensitive variables. Study Design Prospective, observational, nonrandomized study. Methods Participants included 28 congenital profound sensorineural hearing loss. The mean age at device...
. The narrative skills of children with Cochlear Implants (CIs) are fragile, but the factors at play and whether these difficulties could be similar to those detected in language impairment not clear. present study aims assess, microstructural level, skills, comparing CIs Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) or Typical Development (TD). Furthermore, relationship between verbal (lexical morphosyntactic) comprehension across groups is investigated. narratives 19 (Mage = 62.42 months, SD...
Children with cochlear implants (CIs) exhibit large individual differences in vocabulary outcomes. We hypothesized that understudied sources of variance are amount music engagement and exposure maternal musicality. Additionally, we explored whether objective measures captured from the CI data logs parent reports about provide converging and/or complementary evidence, these correlate Sixteen children CIs (Mage = 16.7 months, SD 7.7, range 9.6–32.9) were tested before implantation three, six,...
Abstract Background In recent years many studies have shown that the use of cochlear implants (CIs) improves children's skills in processing auditory signal and, consequently, development both language comprehension and production. Nevertheless, authors also reported children with CIs is variable influenced by individual factors (e.g., age at CI activation) contextual aspects maternal linguistic input). Aims To assess characteristics spontaneous production Italian CIs, their mothers’ input...
Objectives/Hypothesis To investigate the effect of age at cochlear implant activation on oral narrative ability in children implanted before 2.5 years and to examine role other variables (gender, parental education level, stimulation modality) skills. Study design retrospective nonrandomized group study Methods Thirty (21 females; 9 males) with congenital, bilateral severe‐to‐profound sensorineural hearing loss were included this study. The mean was 14.7 months (standard deviation [SD] ±...
Abstract Purpose Executive Functions (EFs) are fundamental to every aspect of life. The present study was implemented evaluate factors influencing their development in a group preschools orally educated profoundly deaf children hearing parents, who received CI within 2 years age. Methods Twenty-five preschool were tested using the Battery for Assessment (BAFE) assess flexibility, inhibition, and non-verbal visuo-spatial working memory skills. percentage performing normal range reported each...
Auditory selective attention (ASA) is crucial to focus on significant auditory stimuli without being distracted by irrelevant signals and plays an important role in language development. The present study aimed investigate the unique contribution of ASA linguistic levels achieved a group cochlear implanted (CI) children.
Recent studies have reported contrasting results in the socio-emotional adjustment of Italian adolescents with cochlear implants (CIs). The aim present study is to explore relationship between CIs, quality their hospital stay, and age at CI activation. participants were 29 CIs (CI group) typically developing (TD group). Emotional Autonomy Scale, Loneliness Aloneness Scale for Children Adolescents, Multidimensional Self-Concept administered each participant. emotional experience during stay...
Purpose This study investigates the acoustic environment of children with cochlear implants (CIs) and relationship between exposure to speech, in noise quiet, children's lexical production up 1 year after CI activation, while controlling for effect early individual differences receptive vocabulary growth. Method Eighteen CIs were observed at 3, 6, 12 months activation. Children's spontaneous word during interaction their mothers (types tokens) expressive size considered. The characteristics...
This study aimed to translate and adapt the English version of Speech, Spatial, Qualities Hearing Scale (SSQ) for children parents into Italian language; validate SSQ hearing their parents; evaluate discriminant validity instrument. A group 102 normal-hearing children, aged between 9 16 years, were included in this study. 31 6 8 years was also included. 57 hearing-impaired included, as well a 30 years. Cronbach’s alpha 0.92; it 0.95 children. Guttmann’s split-half coefficient both λ4 λ6...
Studies have shown that children vary in the trajectories of their language development after cochlear implant (CI) activation. The aim present study is to assess preverbal and lexical a group 20 Italian-speaking observed longitudinally before CI activation at three, 6 12 months surgery (mean age first session: 17.5 months; SD: 8.3; range: 10–35). with CIs (G-CI) was compared two groups normally-hearing (NH) children, one age-matched (G-NHA; mean 17.4 8.0; 10–34) language-matched (G-NHL; n =...
The present study aimed to investigate the communicative characteristics of children with cochlear implants (CIs) and their mothers in interaction, whether how they differ from those mother–child dyads normal hearing, mother child influence each other over first year after implantation. Eighteen Italian-speaking CIs were assessed longitudinally across four time points, before implantation (ages: 10–33 months) 1 Two groups normally-hearing matched for age or lexical production level used as...
