We examined the impact of exposure to a signed language (American Sign Language, or
ASL) at different ages on the neural systems that support spoken language phonemic …

We examined neural activation patterns underlying phonemic discrimination in a spoken
language in deaf CI users (N= 18, age= 18-24 years) who were exposed to a signed …

Purpose The aim of this study was to examine how the brains of individuals with cochlear
implants (CIs) respond to spoken language tasks that underlie successful language …

The study of congenitally deaf adult humans provides an opportunity to examine
neuroanatomical plasticity resulting from altered sensory experience. However, attributing …

An experiment was conducted to investigate the feasibility of using functional near-infrared
spectroscopy (fNIRS) to image cortical activity in the language areas of cochlear implant (CI) …

Objectives: Postlingually deaf adults with cochlear implants (CIs) have difficulties with
perceiving differences in speakers' voice characteristics and benefit little from voice …

Much of what is known about the course of auditory learning in following cochlear
implantation is based on behavioral indicators that users are able to perceive sound. Both …

Deaf late signers provide a unique perspective on the impact of impoverished early
language exposure on the neurobiology of language: insights that cannot be gained from …

Cochlear implant (CI) users with prelingual deafness (hearing impairment started before
language development was completed) show variable speech-in-noise (SIN) …

Recent evidence suggests that deaf children with CIs exposed to nonnative sign language
from hearing parents can attain age‐appropriate vocabularies in both sign and spoken …
