Case study shows retrieval practice improves word learning in children who are DHH, indicating effective intervention for vocabulary skills.

The case study aimed to investigate the impact of retrieval practice on word learning in children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Four children who are DHH participated in eight language intervention sessions over four weeks.
Target words were presented during a narrative under no retrieval, immediate retrieval, and spaced retrieval conditions.
A control condition was included where words were probed but not taught.
Children learned target words under the intervention conditions, but not the control condition.
Three out of four participants remembered more words under the spaced and immediate-retrieval conditions than the no-retrieval condition.

Beatriz de Diego-Lázaro (2025) studied this question.
