ABSTRACT

This study aims to investigate the level and developmental patterns of phonological memory for students with cochlear implants compared with those of chronological-age matched- and reading-age matched normal hearing students, and explore the role of phonological memory on language and reading development through analyzing the relationships of phonological memory, language, and reading for these students. For these purpose, syllable repetition test, sentence comprehension test, and reading comprehension test were performed for 38 higher-grade elementary school students with CIs, 48 chronological-age matched normal hearing students, and 44 reading- age matched normal hearing students. Results indicated that phonological memory skills of students with CIs were lower than those of CA matched- and RA matched normal hearing students regardless of conditions of the test, and their phonological memory skills didn’t develop with grade. Also, phonological memory of students with CIs was related with language and reading abilities similar to reading-age matched normal hearing students, but language had higher relationships with reading than phonological memory.
