许多研究表明语言和执行功能（EF）之间的联系，但发展关系的证据仍然没有定论。数据收集自75名耳聋/听力障碍（DHH）儿童和82名听力年龄匹配的对照组。第一次测试时儿童年龄为6 - 11岁，完成了一系列非言语EF任务和表达性词汇测试。两年后，这些任务再次完成。在此期间，两组人在所有任务上的得分都有所提高。DHH儿童在两个时间点的一些EF任务和词汇测试中的表现显着不如听力同龄人。交叉滞后面板模型表明，词汇在时间1预测的EF分数的变化，DHH和听力儿童，但不是相反。
Numerous studies suggest an association between language and executive function (EF), but evidence of a developmental relationship remains inconclusive. Data were collected from 75 deaf/hard-of-hearing (DHH) children and 82 hearing age-matched controls. Children were 6-11 years old at first time of testing and completed a battery of nonverbal EF tasks and a test of expressive vocabulary. These tasks were completed again 2 years later. Both groups improved their scores on all tasks over this period. DHH children performed significantly less well than hearing peers on some EF tasks and the vocabulary test at both time points. Cross-lagged panel models showed that vocabulary at Time 1 predicted change in EF scores for both DHH and hearing children but not the reverse.
