Céline Hidalgo; Christelle Zielinski; Sophie Chen; Stéphane Roman; Eric Truy; Daniele Schön – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Perceptual and speech production abilities of children with cochlear implants (CIs) are usually tested by word and sentence repetition or naming tests. However, these tests are quite far apart from daily life linguistic contexts. Aim: Here, we describe a way of investigating the link between language comprehension and anticipatory…

Jacques Pesnot Lerousseau; Maude Denis; Stéphane Roman; Daniele Schön – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Prelingual deaf children with cochlear implants show lower digit span test scores compared to normal-hearing peers, suggesting a working memory impairment. To pinpoint more precisely the subprocesses responsible for this impairment, we designed a sequence reproduction task with varying length (two to six stimuli), modality (auditory or…

Erik Marsja; Emil Holmer; Victoria Stenbäck; Andreea Micula; Carlos Tirado; Henrik Danielsson; Jerker Rönnberg – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Although the existing literature has explored the link between cognitive functioning and speech recognition in noise, the specific role of fluid intelligence still needs to be studied. Given the established association between working memory capacity (WMC) and fluid intelligence and the predictive power of WMC for speech recognition in…

Susan Nittrouer – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Verbal working memory is poorer for children with hearing loss than for peers with normal hearing (NH), even with cochlear implantation and early intervention. Poor verbal working memory can affect academic performance, especially in higher grades, making this deficit a significant problem. This study examined the stability of verbal…

A. Delcenserie; F. Genesee; F. Champoux – Developmental Science, 2024
Recent evidence suggests that deaf children with CIs exposed to nonnative sign language from hearing parents can attain age-appropriate vocabularies in both sign and spoken language. It remains to be explored whether deaf children with CIs who are exposed to early nonnative sign language, but only up to implantation, also benefit from this input…

Arifi N. Waked – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2024
This study examines the role of receptive vocabulary knowledge on outcomes of the TOEFL reading comprehension task. Participants included 18 native speakers of Spanish learning English as a foreign language and 17 native speakers of English ranging in age from 19-25 years. Lexical stimuli were presented auditorily and were divided into…
