Vocabulary Skills

Weak performance in short-term memory (STM) in children with cochlear implants (CI) may have an impact on vocabulary development. Vocabulary, phonological STM (non-word repetition), phonological/verbal STM (digit span) and rapid naming measures were administered to 15 Greek-speaking children with CI (ages 4;6–8;6) and to chronological age (CA) and younger controls with normal hearing (NH). The children with CI exhibited lower performance in all tasks compared to CA controls but lagged behind only in phonological STM tasks in comparison to younger NH controls. For children with CI, vocabulary correlated with phonological STM, while for younger NH controls it correlated with all the cognitive measures used. The present results showed that children with CI demonstrate age-matched rapid naming skills, a slower development in vocabulary acquisition rates and developmental lags in their phonological STM skills, suggesting an overall atypical pattern of development. The results also suggest a relationship between these skills which needs to be explored further.

Memory span in humans has been intensely studied for more than a century. In spite of the critical role of memory span in our cognitive system, which intensifies the importance of fundamental determinants of its evolution, few studies have investigated it by taking an evolutionary approach. Overall, we know hardly anything about the evolution of memory components. In the present study, I briefly review the experimental studies of memory span in humans and non-human animals and shortly discuss some of the relevant evolutionary hypotheses.
