  • Beschreibung: <jats:sec><jats:title>Purpose</jats:title><jats:p>The objective of the present article was to document the extent to which early expressive language skills (measured using the MacArthur–Bates Communicative Development Inventories [CDI; Fenson et al., 2006]) predict long-term neurocognitive outcomes in a sample of early-implanted prelingually deaf cochlear implant (CI) users.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method</jats:title><jats:p>The CDI was used to index the early expressive language skills of 32 pediatric CI users after an average of 1.03 years (<jats:italic>SD</jats:italic>= 0.56, range = 0.39–2.17) of CI experience. Long-term neurocognitive outcomes were assessed after an average of 11.32 (<jats:italic>SD</jats:italic>= 2.54, range = 7.08–16.52) years of CI experience. Measures of long-term neurocognitive outcomes were derived from gold-standard performance-based and questionnaire-based assessments of language, executive functioning, and academic skills.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Result</jats:title><jats:p>Analyses revealed that early expressive language skills, collected on average 1.03 years post cochlear implantation, predicted long-term language, executive functioning, and academic skills up to 16 years later.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>These findings suggest that early expressive language skills, as indexed by the CDI, are clinically relevant for identifying CI users who may be at high risk for long-term neurocognitive delays and disturbances.</jats:p></jats:sec>
