使用听力儿童标准化的措施来评估植入人工耳蜗的聋儿的表现。为了研究与植入后变异相关的非语言认知和感觉运动过程，将来自发展神经心理学评估（NEPSY）的五个选择的感觉运动和视觉空间子测试与标准化词汇，阅读和数字广度测量进行了比较。参与者是26名聋哑儿童，年龄6-14岁，谁收到了人工耳蜗植入年龄1和6年之间的植入使用的持续时间范围从3到11年。结果表明，NEPSY的设计能力子测验的标准分数与词汇理解、阅读和数字广度测量的标准分数之间存在显著相关。这些结果有助于我们理解人工耳蜗植入和认知过程的益处，这些益处可能支持植入后的语言和学术功能。
The performance of deaf children with cochlear implants was assessed using measures standardized on hearing children. To investigate nonverbal cognitive and sensorimotor processes associated with postimplant variability, five selected sensorimotor and visuospatial subtests from A Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment (NEPSY) were compared with standardized vocabulary, reading, and digit span measures. Participants were 26 deaf children, ages 6-14 years, who received a cochlear implant between ages I and 6 years; duration of implant use ranged from 3 to I I years. Results indicated significant correlations between standard scores on the Design Copying subtest of the NEPSY and standard scores on vocabulary comprehension, reading, and digit span measures. The results contribute to our understanding of the benefits of cochlear implantation and cognitive processes that may support postimplant language and academic functioning.
