The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between reasoning,
working memory, and language in children with cochlear implants. A battery of
tests of language, working memory, reasoning tasks, and speech perception tests
was administered to each child. The participants were twenty five children with
deaf who had cochlear implant surgery before the age of 3. Parallel Mediation
Analysis was conducted. The cause of reasoning is the working memory, however
this effect is shown with the indirect effects of receptive and expressive
language skills. As a result, activities to improve verbal working memory and
receptive and expressive language skills might improve reasoning skills of
children with cochlear implants.
