Summary
Children with cochlear implants (CI) show delayed grammatical development in Turkish compared to typically developing peers. Speech therapists should account for this acquisition time when planning language therapy.
Area of Science:
- Linguistics
- Speech-Language Pathology
- Pediatrics
Background:
- Cochlear implants (CI) offer auditory input, but grammatical development in pediatric users requires investigation.
- Understanding language acquisition in children with CIs is crucial for effective intervention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the grammatical development of Turkish-speaking children with cochlear implants (CI).
- To compare the grammatical structures of children with CIs to typically developing (TD) children.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Turkish adaptation of the Language Assessment and Remediation Profile (TR-LARSP).
- Analyzed 750 utterances from 15 children with CIs (aged 43-87 months; 22-45 months hearing age).
- Employed a cross-sectional descriptive research design.
Main Results:
- Significant differences observed in the acquisition of grammatical structures in children with CIs compared to TD peers.
- Children with CIs demonstrated delays in specific morpho-syntactical structures.
Conclusions:
- Grammatical development in Turkish-speaking children with CIs differs from TD children.
- Speech therapists must consider the timing of morpho-syntactical structure acquisition when developing language therapy plans for pediatric CI users.

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.
