Effect of persistent otitis media on language development
Abstract:
This paper suggests methods for systematically studying the short-term and long-term effects of persistent otitis media with effusion (OME) on language development and educational achievement. First, some suggestions are made about which aspects of language processing should be examined in detail during different periods of development given the nature of the hearing losses usually suffered by children with persistent OME. These aspects are phonological (speech-sound) categorization and rules and lexical (word) retrieval. Second, the factors which can interact with persistent OME to bring about long-term effects (developmental time, duration and degree of hearing loss, socioeconomic status and cognitive competence) are discussed and suggestions made for the design of studies which can examine the effects of interaction of the factors. Finally, a proposal is presented for cross-lag design, regional studies which can provide us with information needed in planning educational intervention.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language
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...
