Natural sign languages of deaf communities are acquired on the same time scale as that of
spoken languages if children have access to fluent signers providing input from birth. Infants …

A concise overview of key findings and ideas in sign language phonology and its
contributions to related fields, including historical linguistics, morphology, prosody, language …

Children with insufficient exposure to language during critical developmental periods in
infancy are at risk for cognitive, language, and social deficits [55]. This is especially difficult …

Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children experience systematic barriers to equitable
education due to intentional or unintentional ableist views that can lead to a general lack of …

Eye-tracking has become increasingly popular in second language (L2) research. In this
study, we systematically reviewed 111 eye-tracking studies published in 17 L2 journals to …

The link between language and cognition is unique to our species and emerges early in
infancy. Here, we provide the first evidence that this precocious language-cognition link is …

Children's gaze behavior reflects emergent linguistic knowledge and real‐time language
processing of speech, but little is known about naturalistic gaze behaviors while watching …

We present dialogue management routines for a system to engage in multiparty agent-infant
interaction. The ultimate purpose of this research is to help infants learn a visual sign …

Evidence from adult studies of deaf signers supports the dissociation between neural
systems involved in processing visual linguistic and non-linguistic body actions. The …

When people listen to speech, neural activity tracks the entropy fluctuation in the acoustic
envelope of the signal. This signal-based entrainment has been shown to be the basis of …
