Animal studies have shown that sensory deprivation in one modality can have striking
effects on the development of the remaining modalities. Although recent studies of deaf and …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

The possibility that, following early auditory deprivation, the remaining senses such as vision
are enhanced has been met with much excitement. However, deaf individuals exhibit both …

The 2 main objectives of this article are to review a variety of literatures in which the concept
of compensation is used and to integrate the results of this review into a general framework …

There is much anecdotal suggestion of improved visual skills in congenitally deaf
individuals. However, this claim has only been met by mixed results from careful …

After more than 30 years of systematic research conducted mainly on the visual abilities of
profoundly deaf individuals, it is apparent that the long-standing debate as to whether …

Visual abilities in deaf individuals may be altered as a result of auditory deprivation and/or
because the deaf rely heavily on a sign language (American Sign Language, or ASL). In this …

The loss of one sensory modality can lead to a reorganization of the other intact sensory
modalities. In the case of individuals who are born profoundly deaf, there is growing …

Early deafness in humans provides a unique opportunity to examine the perceptual
consequences of altered sensory experience. In particular, visual perception in the deaf may …

The condition of deafness presents a developmental context that provides insight into the
biological, cultural, and linguistic factors underlying the development of neural systems that …
