impairments in objectively-measured activity level (Rapport et al., 2009), attentive behavior. The teacher will then pull a card and read the number sequence aloud. Alternate administration/scoring of digit span backward. Moreover, the auditory memory span develops at the same rate for the children with hearing loss as for the hearing children. Each student should select a game board (6 colors to choose from). The correlation coefficients between chronological age and the listen-and-point task were also similar in both groups of children.Ĭonclusions: When speech processes are not required in an auditory working memory task, demand for the phonological loop is reduced and the children with hearing loss are able to perform as well as the hearing children. Unfortunately, limitations within some of the research minimize clinical generalizability. Moreover, the memory span estimated in the listen-and-point task was smaller than that estimated in the Verbal Digit Span task. Reliable Digit Span (RDS) is a heavily researched symptom validity test with a recent literature review yielding more than 20 studies ranging in dates from 1994 to 2011. The size of auditory memory span was similar in both groups of participants in the listen-and-point task. Results: The listen-and-point task not only correlated with the Verbal Digit Span sub-test, but also correlated with the comprehension sub-test of the language assessment instrument. A language assessment instrument for Mandarin-speaking preschool children was also administered to the participants with hearing loss. Method: A listen-and-point digit span task and two sub-tests of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV (Verbal Digit Span and Matrix Reasoning) were administered to thirty hearing children and thirty-three children with hearing loss. use fMRI to investigate brain activities associated with the forward and backward digit.
Objective: The current research was conducted to test the prediction that children who have hearing loss and are developing spoken language can perform at the same level as hearing children in an auditory memory span task if actual production of speech is excluded from task requirement. Both forward and backward digit span recall have been widely.
