Overview

Comparative study reveals narrative macrostructure deficits in children hard of hearing, indicating substantial risks for story retelling delays.

Key Points

  • Compare story generation and narrative retell performance between children who are hard of hearing and normal-hearing peers, while identifying underlying linguistic and auditory factors that influence narrative competency.
  • Evaluated 86 children who are hard of hearing and 53 seven-year-old hearing children using a battery covering vocabulary, grammar, phonological processing, story generation, and narrative retell tasks.
  • Scored narrative macrostructure using a blinded coding rubric and analyzed group differences and mediation effects using analysis of variance and correlational modeling.
  • Seven-year-old children who are hard of hearing exhibited significant deficits in narrative macrostructure relative to hearing peers, with more pronounced deficits during narrative retell than story generation.
  • Grammar mediated the relationship between hearing status and narrative retell, whereas vocabulary, grammar, and phonological memory all mediated performance in story generation.
  • Auditory access variables accounted for a significant proportion of shared variance in story generation abilities among children who are hard of hearing.
