Abstract

Background and Aim: Reading is the most important human need for learning. In normal-hearing people WORKING MEMORY is a predictor of READING COMPREHENSION. In this study the relationship between WORKING MEMORY and READING COMPREHENSION skills was studied in hearing-impaired children, and then compared with the normal-hearing group.Methods: This was a descriptive-analytic study. The WORKING MEMORY and READING COMPREHENSION skills of 18 (8 male, 10 female) sever hearing-impaired children in year five of exceptional schools were compared by means of a reading test with 18 hearing children as control group. The subjects in the control group were of the same gender and educational level of the sample group.Results: The children with HEARING LOSS performed similarly to the normal-hearing children in tasks related to auditory-verbal memory of sounds (reverse), visual-verbal memory of letters, and visual verbal memory of pictures. However, they showed lower levels of performance in READING COMPREHENSION (p<0.001). Moreover, no significant relationship was observed between WORKING MEMORY and READING COMPREHENSION skills.Conclusion: Findings indicated that children with HEARING LOSS have a significant impairment in the READING COMPREHENSION skill. Impairment in language knowledge and vocabulary may be the main cause of poor READING COMPREHENSION in these children. In hearing-impaired children WORKING MEMORY is not a strong predictor of READING COMPREHENSION.
