Effects of Early Cochlear Implantation on Hearing Mother-Deaf Infant Relationships and Language Development

本研究探讨了母亲在分娩后语言技巧和态度的变化， 言语受人工耳蜗植入儿童听觉体验水平的影响。母亲 在植入后不久使用了语言技术，如评论，语言映射和指令。随着孩子们获得听觉经验，母亲改变了他们的策略，减少使用前一种技术，增加使用平行谈话，增加MLUw。此外他们 产生夸张的语调，适当的话轮转换和停顿，这表明互惠 他们之间的沟通。母亲说话的语言技巧和方式的选择， 受儿童听觉经验的影响，而不是实际年龄。结果表明， 是早期人工耳蜗植入的一个效果。

This study investigated changes in language techniques and manners of maternal speech influenced by the level of auditory experiences of children with cochlear implants. The mothers employed language techniques such as comment, linguistic mapping and directive shortly after implantation. As the children gained auditory experiences, the mothers changed their strategies by decreasing the use of the former techniques and increasing the use of parallel talk with increased MLUw. In addition, they produced exaggerated intonation, appropriate turn-taking and pausing which indicated reciprocal communication between them. The selection of the language techniques and manners of maternal speech was affected by the children's auditory experiences rather than chronological age. The result suggests this would be one of the effects of early cochlear implantation.
