Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the development of interaction behaviors in children with cochlear implants by using Tait video analysis.
Methods: The participants were 27 children: 9 with cochlear implants (CI group), 9 language age-matched (LA group), and 9 chronological age-matched (CA group). Their interaction behaviors were assessed based on 3 indices while interacting with the researcher: turn-taking, autonomy, and auditory awareness. Each of these indices can be either vocal or gestural. Turn-taking is when the child takes an appropriate opportunity to communicate during interaction. Autonomy is when the child initiates the interaction. Auditory awareness is when the child replies to a sound cue without a corresponding visual cue. Mixed-ANOVA was used to analyze the data.
Results: CI group was not significantly different from LA group in any evaluation variable. However, there were significant differences in the frequency of vocal turn-taking, gestural turn-taking, and non-looking vocal turns between the CI group and the CA group; whereas the differences between the two groups in the frequency of vocal autonomy, gestural autonomy, and non-looking gestural turns were not significantly different.
Conclusion: The results showed that CI children who received early diagnosis and intervention displayed a similar developmental attern of interaction to LA children.
