本研究的目的是探讨非语言智力对使用扩音和口语的听力损失儿童口语表现的影响。具体来说，我们比较了通过规范参考测量的语言表现与自发语言样本测量的语言表现。对92名年龄在3 - 6岁的儿童进行了非语言智力和口语技能的分析，采用参照规范的非语言智力和语言评估和语言样本分析。所有孩子的非语言智力都在平均或高于平均水平。回归分析显示，在控制了母亲的教育程度和听力状况后，非语言智力对规范参照语言测量的方差贡献最大，而对自发语言测量的方差贡献最小。在规范参照语言测试中的表现受非语言智力的影响，而自发语言样本测量的功能性语言使用则不受影响。这些发现表明，自发语言测量可能对独立于非语言智力的语言评估系统有额外的价值。
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of nonverbal intelligence on spoken language performance in children with hearing loss who use amplification and spoken language. Specifically, we compared language performance measured by norm-referenced measures compared to spontaneous language sample measures. Nonverbal intelligence and spoken language skills were analyzed using norm-referenced nonverbal intelligence and language assessments and language sample analyses in 92 children ages three to six who varied by hearing and nonverbal intelligence status. All children had nonverbal intelligence within the average or above-average range. Regression analyses revealed that, after controlling for maternal education and hearing status, nonverbal intelligence contributed unique variance to norm-referenced language measures but not spontaneous language measures. Performance on norm-referenced language measures is influenced by nonverbal intelligence, whereas functional language use measured by spontaneous language samples is not. These findings suggest that spontaneous language measures may contribute additional value to language assessment batteries that is independent of nonverbal intelligence.
