Summary

Children with central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) have underdeveloped internal speech. This impacts their memory processing, unlike normally hearing children who rely more on auditory coding.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Speech and Hearing Sciences

Background:

  • The phonemic similarity effect demonstrates how sound-based (phonological) information influences short-term memory.
  • Central Auditory Processing Disorders (CAPD) can affect how the brain processes sound, potentially impacting cognitive functions like memory.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of internal speech in children with CAPD using a phonemic similarity memory task.
  • To compare the memory processing strategies of children with CAPD and normally hearing controls.

Main Methods:

  • Visually presented homophone and non-homophone word lists were used in a serial recall memory test.
  • The study compared the performance of 18 children with CAPD to 18 matched normally hearing controls.

Main Results:

  • Normally hearing children made more recall errors with similar-sounding (homophone) words, indicating reliance on auditory coding.
  • Children with CAPD showed a minimal difference in errors between homophone and non-homophone lists.
  • This suggests a weaker preference for auditory or articulatory coding in the CAPD group.

Conclusions:

  • Internal speech mechanisms appear less developed in children with CAPD.
  • CAPD may impair the ability to utilize auditory or articulatory codes for memory, unlike typically developing peers.
