It is unresolved whether the permanent auditory deprivation that deaf people experience leads to the enhanced visual processing of faces. The current study explored this question with a matching task in which observers searched for a target face among a concurrent lineup of ten faces. This was compared with a control task in which the same stimuli were presented upside down, to disrupt typical ...

Previous studies show that typically developing 4-year old children can understand other people's false beliefs but that deaf children of hearing families have difficulty in understanding false beliefs until the age of approximately 13. Because false beliefs are implicit mental states that are not expressed through clear visual cues in standard false belief tasks, the present study examines the...

abstract background: the aim of this study was to determine the auditory performance of congenitally deaf children and the effect of cochlear implantation (ci) on speech intelligibility. methods: aprospective study was undertaken on 47 children in a pediatric tertiary referral center for ci. all children were deaf prelingually and were younger than 8 years of age. they were followed up until 5 ...

Recently, we reported a strong right visual field/left hemisphere advantage for motion processing in deaf signers and a slight reverse asymmetry in hearing nonsigners (Bosworth & Dobkins, 1999). This visual field asymmetry in deaf signers may be due to auditory deprivation or to experience with a visual-manual language, American Sign Language (ASL). In order to separate these two possible sourc...

objectives: profound hearing loss encounters children with delay in speech and language. as it is known language acquisition in young deaf children is a lengthy process, but cochlear implanted children have better spoken language skills than if they had not received the device. according to the importance of cochlear implant in deaf child's language development, this study evaluates the ef...

Starting from models of working memory and hypertext navigation, this research focused on how the specific demands of hypertext systems could be adapted to fulfill the memory peculiarities of deaf signer users. We manipulated the Verbal and Visuospatial storage demands of a hypertext information retrieval task. The results showed that differences in accuracy, response time, and lostness between...

Visual abilities in deaf individuals may be altered as a result of auditory deprivation and/or because the deaf rely heavily on a sign language (American Sign Language, or ASL). In this study, we asked whether attentional abilities of deaf subjects are altered. Using a direction of motion discrimination task in the periphery, we investigated three aspects of spatial attention: orienting of atte...

Most deaf children in the U.S. today (roughly 80 percent) are placed in a mainstream publicschool environment with hearing peers and teachers (Salend, 2001; Schick, Williams, & Bolster, 1999). As deaf children are increasingly being educated in mainstream public school programs, there is a need to assess fully the factors influencing their first and second language acquisition and literacy deve...
