Abstract

Speech distortions are observed in children with hearing loss (HL). This study verified whether teaching echoic was linked to conditional discrimination tasks in a reading teaching program and whether it would increase speech accuracy in three children with HL. The equivalence-based program taught 51 words via computer in discrete trials. Discriminations between dictated and written words, their smaller units (syllables and letters), and figures were trained by the matching-to-sample (selecting a printed figure/word/syllable conditionally to the dictated word/syllable) and constructed-response procedures matching-to-sample (select letters in sequence conditionally to the dictated/printed word). The echoic was linked to matching-to-sample, in two of four teaching units, balancing the conditions between the participants. Periodic probes monitored speech. In the pre-tests, naming was below 60% and reading was above 66% correct; they learned echoic, and naming improved in all teaching units, regardless of echoic teaching.
