VAZQUEZ MOSQUERA, María Cristina. Comparación del perfil neurocognitivo entre niños de 3 a 6 años con y sin discapacidad auditiva. Rev Eug Esp [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.3, pp.38-48. ISSN 2661-6742.  https://doi.org/10.37135/ee.04.12.05.

The objective of the study was to compare the neurocognitive profile of normally hearing pediatric patients aged 3 to 6 years with that of children in the same age group with hearing impairment, those who used a cochlear implant for 24 to 36 months. To achieve this, a research was carried out with a non-experimental design of a comparative type and a quantitative approach. The data were obtained from the neuropsychological reports filed in the medical records of 10 preschool patients, treated at the Centro de Rehabilitación Integral Especializada "CRIE" in the city of Cuenca in 2019. The population were divided into two groups (one with the hearing impaired and others without that feature). The instrument applied in that institution was the Neuropsychological Maturity Questionnaire. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant in most of the scales evaluated, the children without hearing impairment showed a neurocognitive development superior to the rest of the participants. The correlation between the dimensions of neurocognitive development: expressive language and verbal fluency, with respect to age in children with hearing disabilities, whose figures were negative and fall into the category of strong or absolute.
