Lexical processing is a complex process array of mechanisms namely encoding, search and retrieval. Stored information about a lexicon is a mental representation. Lexical processing helps in the decoding of words and comprehends meaning from linguistic system. It can be assessed through with lexical decision task. DMDX-5 software is a helpful tool that can be used to calculate the decoding speed. Lexical decoding is an important aspect of language. It is important to study lexical decoding in children with hearing impairment. A total 30 participants were included in the present study. Group A included 20 typically developing children based on language age evaluated on Receptive Expressive Emergent Language Scale. Ten children with hearing impairment using cochlear implant based on the language matched using REELS were included in Group B. Lexical processing test in Marathi was used to evaluate lexical processing abilities. The responses were analysed using the DMDX-5 software. Correct or incorrect responses along with the reaction time were calculated for all stimuli. Scores for identification of words and nonwords improves with age, whereas reaction time for identification of words and nonwords reduces with age. The data obtained in the present study serve as pilot norms. Children with hearing impairment showed poor performance on the lexical processing of words and nonwords. Further studies are required on the large number of clinical populations.
