thank you for this presentation.
Can you elaborate for me on the lack of evidence on the AVT approach?
2nd: do you think there could be a transfer from your findings in Usher children with CI to the overall larger group of children with HL and treated with CI?
and 3rd: how were the children in this project met with ToM from the adults and those who tested?
Hi,
thank you for your questions!
1.The systematic reviews (Brennan-Jones et al., 2014; Kaipa & Danser, 2016) that looked into the efficacy of the AVT report that some studies show a positive impact of AVT on speech and language in children with hearing loss. However, they suggest it is difficult to draw conclusions about the effectiveness due to the lack of well-controlled studies.
2.Participants of this study will be children with Usher syndrome with CIs and children with hearing loss with CIs so we will have data from both groups. It is hard to talk about generalizing the findings due to a rather small sample size – we expect to have 20-30 children with hearing loss with CIs and just a few cases when it comes to children with Usher syndrome with CIs.
3.I am not quite sure I understand this question, but if you clarify it I will be more than happy to try to answer it.
thanks for your reply, Kristina.
About my 3rd question it seems that ToM must be learned during interaction and not ‘just taught’ and expected from child by adult.
Hope to manage to visit your poster tomorrow.
Hello Kristina
I’m soryy I didn’t get the time to visit your poster this afternnon. I was very interested in your study. You state that deaf children from deaf parents are as good as in theory of mind than hearing children form hearing parents but that deaf children from hearing parents are less good. Do you have some references to share ? All the best
Hi Cécile,
thank you for your interest and your question. Here are some studies that have found the ToM delay in children with CIs who use spoken language:
Sundqvist, A., Lyxell, B., Jonsson, R., Heimann, M. (2014). Understanding minds: Early cochlear implantation and the development of theory of mind in children with profound hearing impairment. International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology 78, 538-544.
