听觉支架假说指出，早期的声音经验支持领域一般序列处理能力的发展，通过观察聋人或听力障碍（DHH）儿童受损的序列处理研究得到支持。为了验证这一假设，我们管理了一个序列处理任务，77 DHH儿童使用美国手语（ASL）和23听力单语儿童7-12岁，发现他们之间没有表现差异后，控制年龄和非言语智力。此外，无论是口头语言理解分数，也没有听力损失水平预测的序列处理分数在DHH组，而ASL的理解分数。我们的研究结果并不表明DHH儿童的序列处理缺陷，不支持听觉支架假说，相反，这些研究结果表明，相关的经验和/或熟练程度在一个可访问的语言在发展过程中的因素可能是更重要的序列处理能力的决定因素。
The auditory scaffolding hypothesis states that early experience with sound underpins the development of domain-general sequence processing abilities, supported by studies observing impaired sequence processing in deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) children. To test this hypothesis, we administered a sequence processing task to 77 DHH children who use American Sign Language (ASL) and 23 hearing monolingual children aged 7–12 years and found no performance difference between them after controlling for age and nonverbal intelligence. Additionally, neither spoken language comprehension scores nor hearing loss levels predicted sequence processing scores in the DHH group, whereas ASL comprehension scores did. Our results do not indicate sequence processing deficits in DHH children and do not support the auditory scaffolding hypothesis; instead, these findings suggest that factors related to experience with and/or proficiency in an accessible language during development may be more important determinants of sequence processing abilities.
