Language Development

Language Development

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...

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Area of Science:

Otorhinolaryngology
Neuroscience
Pediatric audiology

Background:

Children with cochlear malformations or auditory nerve deficiencies often have limited options for auditory rehabilitation.
Cochlear implants are not suitable for all children with severe hearing loss, necessitating alternative solutions.

Approach:

A systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted.
Studies were identified through comprehensive searches of PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases.
Quality assessment of included studies was performed using standardized tools.

Key Points:

Children with auditory brainstem implants demonstrated improved sound detection and speech perception.
Significant advancements in expressive and comprehensive language skills were observed in most children.
Some children experienced stable language development, indicating varied responses to the intervention.

Conclusions:

Auditory brainstem implants are a viable and effective option for pediatric auditory rehabilitation.
This technology benefits children with cochlear malformations and/or auditory nerve deficiency.
It serves as a crucial alternative for pediatric patients who cannot undergo cochlear implant surgery.
