Learning Disabilities

84
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

323
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

61
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

40
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Oppositional Defiant Disorder01:30

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

23
A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

26
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Summary

Some children with cochlear implants (CIs) experience severe reading and writing deficits, suggesting a possible Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) comorbidity with deafness, not just a consequence of hearing loss.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Audiology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Cochlear implants (CIs) aim to improve auditory rehabilitation in deaf children.
  • Some children with CIs show language and literacy skills below expected outcomes.
  • Unexplained reading and writing deficits in deaf children with CIs warrant further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if reading and writing deficits in deaf children with CIs represent a domain-specific learning disorder.
  • To analyze academic discrepancies in reading and writing between deaf children with CIs.

Main Methods:

  • Compared three prelingually deaf children with CIs and learning disorders (Deaf+LD group) to deaf children with CIs (Deaf group).
  • Matched the Deaf+LD group with three hearing children with Specific Learning Disorder (SLD group) on chronological age.
  • Assessed reading and writing abilities in all groups.

Main Results:

  • Deaf+LD group exhibited severe reading and writing deficits, similar to the SLD group.
  • Deaf group showed normal reading and writing abilities.
  • Children with presumed SLD had language profiles more similar to hearing children with SLD.

Conclusions:

  • Suggests considering comorbidity between deafness and Specific Learning Disorder (SLD).
  • Specific language profiles support the association between deafness and SLD.
  • Early identification of SLD in deaf children with CIs is crucial for targeted interventions.
