Speech recognition, working memory and conversation in children with cochlear implants

Abstract: This study examined the relationship between speech recognition, working memory and conversational skills in a group of 13 children/adolescents with cochlear implants (CIs) between 11 and 19 years of age. Conversational skills were assessed in a referential communication task where the participants interacted with a hearing peer of the same age and gender. The measures were the number of requests for clarifi cation produced, time used to solve the task and the proportion of the different types of requests for … Show more

“…Verbal working memory is significantly associated with speech perception (Cleary, Pisoni, & Kirk, 2000; Nittrouer, Caldwell-Tarr, & Lowenstein, 2013), grammar (Willstedt-Svensson, Löfqvist, Almqvist, & Sahlén, 2004), vocabulary (Cleary et al, 2000; Geers, Pisoni, & Brenner, 2013; Nittrouer et al, 2013; Wass et al, 2008), reading (Geers et al, 2013), word learning (Willstedt-Svensson et al, 2004), and conversational communication (Ibertsson, Hansson, Asker-Arnason, Sahlén, & Mäki-Torkko, 2009; Lyxell et al, 2008) in CI users. Because of the foundational role that covert verbal rehearsal plays in verbal working memory, verbal rehearsal speed is therefore a likely contributor to long-term outcomes in speech and language skills in CI users and may explain the relation between verbal working memory and long-term spoken language outcomes.…”

“…The two adolescents were sitting on each side of a screen that allowed them to see each other but not the table in front of each of them. The task was to describe a set of pictures showing faces so that the partner could select the appropriate pictures from a larger set and arrange them in the same way as the set in front of the speaker ͑see Ibertsson et al, 2009, for further details͒. The extracted sentences were balanced in length, one shorter with an average of nine words, and one longer with an average of 15 words, from each child.…”

“…Research has also shown that there is a strong relationship between speech intelligibility levels and the effectiveness of communication during conversation. Ibertsson et al (2009a) investigated the relationship between speech recognition abilities and conversational skills, as measured during a referential communication task, in a group of 13 children/ adolescents aged between 11 and 19 years with cochlear implants. Findings showed a significant association between the listener's speech recognition abilities and the time it took for the hearing peer to complete the referential task (i.e.…”

“…It is well documented in the literature that hearing impairment impacts on the development of spoken language skills in children (Blamey et al, 2001a, b;Geers et al, 2003;Ibertsson, et al, 2009a). Children with hearing loss produce shorter utterances, fewer different words per minute, and less bound morphemes in their overall spoken language compared with their age-matched peers .…”
