Sažetak
Recent literature suggests that the functioning of the work memory (WM) of pediatric cochlear implants users (PCIU) is different compared to their hearing peers. Still, it is unclear whether these cognitive differences are the result of poor storage or processing of verbal information (or both), and whether (and how) the potential specificities of verbal WM are reflected on non-verbal WM of PCIU. In focus of this pilot study are characteristics of verbal and non-verbal WM of 10 orally habilitated and educated school-aged deaf children without additional difficulties, implanted by the age of 3. The aim of the study is to compare verbal and non-verbal WM between PCIU and their hearing peers, and to examine potential interrelationships of language outcomes of PCIU, selected socio-demographic, audiological, technical and habilitational variables, and their verbal and non-verbal WM. The research seeks to find possible sources of large variance in the language outcomes of PCIU.
