Language processing in children with cochlear implants: a preliminary report on lexical access for production and comprehension.

Language processing in children with cochlear implants: a preliminary report on lexical access for production and comprehension. Clin Linguist Phon. 2013 Apr;27(4):264-77 Authors: Schwartz RG, Steinman S, Ying E, Mystal EY, Houston DM Abstract In this plenary paper, we present a review of language research in children with cochlear implants along with an outline of a 5-year project designed to examine the lexical access for production and recognition. The project will use auditory priming, picture naming with auditory or visual interfering stimuli (Picture-Word Interference and Picture-Picture Interference, respectively) and eye tracking paradigms to examine the roles of semantic and various phonological factors. Preliminary data are presented from auditory priming, picture-word interference and picture-picture interference tasks. The emergence of group difference is briefly discussed.
