In addition, DCHP follow the same developmental trajectory as DCDP but are delayed, which is consistent with the less than ideal levels of language input they receive.

An error analysis showed a decrease of phonological foil choices with increasing age in both groups. Learn- ers in both groups relied more on semantic knowledge and less on phonological knowledge for this semantic task as they became older, which is the same pattern observed for typically developing hearing children acquiring a spoken language.This indicates that DCHP and DCDP resemble hearing children in the strategies they use to identify synonyms. In addition, DCHP follow the same developmental trajectory as DCDP but are delayed, which is consistent with the less than ideal levels of language input they receive.

The disparity between the scores of DCHP and those of DCDP on most academic measures is an ongoing problem that proponents of bilingual education continue to address (Fish & Morford, 2012).
