In recent years, the intersection of cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and neuroscience with regard to deaf individuals has received increasing attention from a variety of academic and educational audiences. Both research and pedagogy have addressed questions about whether deaf children learn in the same ways that hearing children…

Glickman, Neil – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2007
When mental health clinicians perform mental status examinations, they examine the language patterns of patients because abnormal language patterns, sometimes referred to as language dysfluency, may indicate a thought disorder. Performing such examinations with deaf patients is a far more complex task, especially with traditionally underserved…

Morton, Bruce E.; Rafto, Stein E. – Brain and Cognition, 2006
Individuals differ in the number of corpus callosum (CC) nerve fibers interconnecting their cerebral hemispheres by about threefold. Early reports suggested that males had smaller CCs than females. This was often interpreted to support the concept that the male brain is more "lateralized" or "specialized," thus accounting for presumed male…

Sweet, Margarita – Odyssey: New Directions in Deaf Education, 2010
Normally functioning sensory systems develop through sensory experiences. Children are stimulated through their senses in many different ways. Even though a person's sensory system is intact, he or she may have a sensory processing disorder (SPD), also known as sensory integration dysfunction. This means the person's brain does not correctly…

Waldron, Manjula; And Others – 1984
Electroencephalogram and task performance data were collected from three groups of young adult males: profoundly deaf Ss who signed from an early age, profoundly deaf Ss who only used oral (speech and speedreading) methods of communication, and normal hearing Ss. Alpha and Beta brain wave patterns over the Wernicke's area were compared across…

Peer reviewedSoderfeldt, Birgitta; And Others – Sign Language Studies, 1994
Examined cerebral activation during sign language comprehension in six persons with deafness and nine hearing persons, all of whose parents were deaf. The group with deafness showed more activation than the hearing group in the right parieto-occipital region, indicating that they were more dependent on the spatial components in sign language than…

Virginia State Dept. of Education, Richmond. – 1991
A survey of Virginia's local school divisions was conducted to obtain data on the number of students in Virginia with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the nature of the services provided to them. A definition of traumatic brain injury is presented, and disorders resulting from TBI are listed, followed by a list of services required by this…

Le Bel, Ronald M.; Pineda, Jaime A.; Sharma, Anu – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2009
The mirror neuron system (MNS) is a trimodal system composed of neuronal populations that respond to motor, visual, and auditory stimulation, such as when an action is performed, observed, heard or read about. In humans, the MNS has been identified using neuroimaging techniques (such as fMRI and mu suppression in the EEG). It reflects an…

Doucet, M. E.; Bergeron, F.; Lassonde, M.; Ferron, P.; Lepore, F. – Brain, 2006
Recent work suggests that once the auditory cortex of deaf persons has been reorganized by cross-modal plasticity, it can no longer respond to signals from a cochlear implant (CI) installed subsequently. To further examine this issue, we compared the evoked potentials involved in the processing of visual stimuli between CI users and hearing…

Verstraete, Pieter – History of Education, 2005
In the second half of the eighteenth century, intellectuals, stimulated by the sensualist theories of Etienne-Bonnot de Condillac (1714?80) and John Locke (1632?1704), tried to understand how a sensorially disabled person, such as one suffering from deafness or blindness was able to reason and develop ideas, for the senses were thought to be the…
