Lederberg, Amy R.; Prezbindowski, Amy K.; Spencer, Patricia E.
Child Development, v71 n6 p1571-85 Nov-Dec 2000
Assessed word-learning skills of 19 deaf/hard-of-hearing preschoolers either with novel mapping strategy to learn new words, or after minimal exposure when reference was explicitly established. Found that 11 children were able to learn words in both contexts, 5 only in the second, and 2 in neither. The latter 7 children eventually were able to learn in both contexts. (Author/KB)
