Phonological Priming as a Lens for Phonological Organization in Children With Cochlear Implants.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the subconscious knowledge of between-word phonological similarities in children with cochlear implants as compared with children with typical hearing.

Design

Participants included 30 children with cochlear implants between the ages of five and seven who used primarily spoken English to communicate, 30 children matched for chronological age, and 30 children matched for vocabulary size. Participants completed an animacy judgment task in either a (a) neutral condition, (b) a phonological prime condition where the consonant and vowel onset of the pictured word was presented prior to the visual target's appearance, (c) an inhibition prime condition where a consonant and vowel onset not matching the pictured word was presented prior to the target's appearan
