What are the 3 factors that account for differences in language acquisition among children with hearing impairment? 1) Degree of loss 2) Age of onset 3) Other co-occuring disabilities What are the predictors of early expressive language development in children who are deaf or hard of hearing? 1) child's age 2) age of identification of child's hearing loss 3) age of implantation 4) child's cognitive status 5) presence or absence of disabilities The greater the hearing loss, the greater the expected _____ ______ language delay What are 3 key factors that have greatly impacted the speech and language outcomes for children with hearing loss? 1) increased client diversity 2) early intervention (before 6 months) 3) availability of cochlear implants Children with hearing loss are not a ______ group homogenous Better speech intelligibility is predicted by 4 factors, what are they? 1) more advanced language development 2) lesser degree of hearing loss 3) oral mode of communication 4) increased age Define phonology. study of sound systems used in language Define morphology study of the minimal units of language that are meaningful, such as "s" for bugs or "ing" for progressive verb tense or "ed" for past tense Define pragmatics functional use of language Define semantics study of word meanings and relations Define syntax the rules that govern how words are arranged in sentences T/F the use of cochlear implants results in spoken language development that surpasses those with hearing aids True if implantation is before age 5 What are some common characteristics of language usage by children who are hearing impaired? 1) Syntax (shorter sentences, simpler sentences 2) Semantics (reduced expressive/receptive vocab, limited understanding of metaphores, idioms, difficulty with multiple meanings of words) 3) Pragmatics (requests, topic changes, turn-taking, lack of comm. repairs) Children with hearing loss miss out on incidental learning. What does this mean? normal hearing children learn through hearing their parents and siblings talk, routines and all the talking around them. HI children do not have this, so the parent has to place extra effort. T/F There is a direct correlation between identifying hearing loss before 6 months and cognitive status.
