q2 i3 Later implant age correlated positively with math ability views (r = .53), while longer implant use correlated negatively with math (r = −.52) and overall scholastic views (r = −.60). → Marschark M 2012

Marschark M 2012¶

Correlational analyses among the 15 deaf children with cochlear implants examined relations between questionnaire scale scores and implant age and duration. The article reports "children who received their implants later had more positive views of their math abilities, r (13) = .53", with longer use negatively associated with math views (r = −.52) and scholastic views (r = −.60).

"Three significant correlation coefficients indicated that children who received their implants later had more positive views of their math abilities, r (13) = .53, and longer implant use was negatively associated with the children's views of their math abilities, r (13) = −.52, and their overall scholastic abilities, r (13) = −.60."

The authors offer competing interpretations of the correlations, stating "the locus of this finding is unclear" and proposing either later hearing losses or better early language development as explanations; no mechanism was tested.

"Although the locus of this finding is unclear, it may reflect later hearing losses or better language development in children who received implants and thus had greater (early) access to spoken language in formal and informal instruction."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Access — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
