Recenzje

The Oxford Handbook of Deaf Studies in Learning and Cognition provides a comprehensive, well-documented review of current research. ... Among the important and sometimes controversial topics they discuss are the various factors impacting learning for DHH individuals, including the use (or non-use) of sign language, early detection and intervention, and cochlear implants. This handbook is recommended for researchers interested in cognitive psychology, child development, and education, and how these fields may be informed by the experiences of DHH people, young children in particular.
