本研究探讨了在婴儿期接受人工耳蜗植入（CI）的儿童表达性语言技能的增长。重复的语言措施收集了29名儿童谁收到CI之间的10和40个月大。横断面分析和增长曲线分析都被用来评估表达性语言结果和CI体验之间的关系。早期植入对表达性语言的发育有有利影响，发育曲线分析表明，婴儿期植入的儿童比幼儿期植入的儿童发育更快。初始刺激时的年龄解释了表达性语言增长率个体差异的14.6%。
This study examined the growth of expressive language skills in children who received cochlear implants (CIs) in infancy. Repeated language measures were gathered from 29 children who received CIs between 10 and 40 months of age.. Both cross-sectional and growth curve analyses were used to assess the relationship, between expressive language outcomes and CI experience. A beneficial effect of earlier implantation on expressive language growth was found. Growth curve analysis showed that growth was more rapid in children implanted as infants than those implanted as toddlers. Age, at initial stimulation accounted for 14.6% of the variance of the individual differences in expressive language growth rates.
