Summary

This trial tests how feedback and spacing can help 4 kids learn and remember words better.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for deaf and hard of hearing children aged 5-8 who only speak English, have some prelingual hearing loss, and normal nonverbal cognition. They should have basic receptive and expressive vocabulary skills but can't participate if they have severe motor impairments or uncorrected vision issues.

What is being tested?

The study tests how well different teaching methods help these children learn words. It compares giving feedback versus no feedback, and doing learning sessions close together (massed) versus spread out over time (spaced). There's also a control group with no teaching.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there are no physical side effects expected. However, participants may experience varying levels of stress or frustration depending on the effectiveness of the intervention.
