PurposeThe目的本研究的目的是检查语音短期记忆早产儿（PT），并探讨这一神经心理过程和以后的语言技能之间的关系。方法早产儿（n= 74）和足月儿（FT;n= 60）参加了一个非词重复（NWR）任务，在36个月大。在36个月和54个月大时进行语言技能的标准化测量。分析了NWR任务完成和NWR评分的组间差异。分层多元回归分析研究在何种程度上NWR能力预测以后的表现语言measurements.ResultsMore的孩子出生PT比FT没有完成NWR任务。在完成任务的儿童中，出生于PT和FT的儿童的表现没有统计学差异。36个月大时的NWR评分解释了两组54个月大时语言评分的显著独特差异。出生组没有温和的NWR和以后的语言performance.ConclusionsThese研究结果表明，语音短期记忆是一个重要的技能，在出生的PT和FT儿童的语言发展。这些发现与评估出生PT儿童的临床实践相关。
PurposeThe aims of this study were to examine phonological short-term memory in children born preterm (PT) and to explore relations between this neuropsychological process and later language skills.MethodChildren born PT (n= 74) and full term (FT;n= 60) participated in a nonword repetition (NWR) task at 36 months old. Standardized measures of language skills were administered at 36 and 54 months old. Group differences in NWR task completion and NWR scores were analyzed. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses examined the extent to which NWR ability predicted later performance on language measures.ResultsMore children born PT than FT did not complete the NWR task. Among children who completed the task, the performance of children born PT and FT was not statistically different. NWR scores at 36 months old accounted for significant unique variance in language scores at 54 months old in both groups. Birth group did not moderate the relation between NWR and later language performance.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that phonological short-term memory is an important skill underlying language development in both children born PT and FT. These findings have relevance to clinical practice in assessing children born PT.
