Mother-Infant Interactive Behaviors: Impact of Maternal Deafness.
Rea, Cathleen Althaus; And Others
American Annals of the Deaf, v133 n5 p317-24 Dec 1988
The interactive behaviors of eight deaf and eight hearing mothers and their hearing infants were examined during play. Compared to hearing mothers, deaf mothers produced fewer, shorter vocalizations, but more nonvocal initiations. The two groups of infants differed on frequency and duration of their vocalizations only at the 16-17 month age level. (Author/JDD)
