An Intervention Study of Inhibition Training on Chinese Speechreading Performance for Students with Hearing Impairment

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2026.03.003

Abstract

Abstract: To explore the effect of inhibition training on Chinese speechreading abilities of hearing-impaired students, 57 participants were randomly divided into an inhibition training group, a mirror self-imitation group, and a control group. Results showed that the inhibition training group exhibited stronger Stroop interference effects in the pre-test than in the post-test, with better post-test sentence speechreading performance and marginally higher phrase speechreading accuracy than the control group. The mirror self-imitation group, by contrast, achieved significant pre-to-post improvements in word and phrase speechreading. These findings demonstrate that hearing-impaired students’ interference inhibition is trainable, and that the two interventions enhance Chinese speechreading abilities differentially depending on linguistic complexity: inhibition training benefits complex (sentence) tasks, while mirror self-imitation favors simple (word/phrase) tasks.

Key words: inhibition training, mirror self-imitation training, students with hearing impairment, Chinese speechreading abilities

摘要： 为探究抑制训练对听障学生汉语唇读的影响，将57名听障学生随机分为抑制训练组、镜前模仿组和对照组，对抑制训练组被试进行四周计算机自适应训练、镜前模仿组被试进行四周唇读训练。其中，抑制训练是在沿用经典Stroop、Go/No-go范式基础上，采用改编版Stroop任务、Go/No-go任务，对被试干扰、反应抑制能力进行训练。研究发现：(1)抑制训练组Stroop测试前测干扰效应显著大于后测；(2)抑制训练组后测唇读语句理解显著优于前测，词语边缘显著优于对照组；镜前模仿组后测汉字和词语理解显著优于前测。研究表明，听障学生抑制能力具有可塑性；两种训练均能提升听障学生汉语唇读理解能力，但提升效果受语言级别影响。
