Nonword Repetition by Children with Cochlear Implants: Accuracy Ratings from Normal-Hearing Listeners.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dillon, Caitlin M.; Burkholder, Rose A.; Cleary, Miranda; Pisoni, David B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2004
Seventy-six children with cochlear implants completed a nonword repetition task.

Connor, Carol McDonald; Hieber, Sara; Arts, H. Alexander; Zwolan, Teresa A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2000
This study examined the relationship between the teaching method, oral or total communication, used at children's schools and children's consonant-production accuracy and vocabulary development over time. The children (N=147) had used cochlear implants for between 6 months and 10 years. Results indicated a complex relationship among children's…

Lichtert, Guido F.; Loncke, Filip T. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine and compare the development of proto-imperative and proto-declarative utterances in normally developing, non-neonatally screened, profoundly deaf toddlers. Method: Both types of proto-declarative are considered to be the most basic prelinguistic and early linguistic communicative functions.…

Examining Multiple Sources of Influence on the Reading Comprehension Skills of Children Who Use Cochlear Implants
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Connor, Carol McDonald; Zwolan, Teresa A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2004
Children with profound deafness are at risk for serious reading difficulties. Multiple factors affect their development of reading skills, including use of cochlear implants. Further, multiple factors influence the overall success that children experience with their cochlear implants. These factors include the age at which they receive an implant,…
