Psycholinguistics; Cognition & cognitive psychology; Teaching of hearing-impaired students

First published in 1987. This book is intended as an introduction to the field of communication and deafness, with particular reference to cognition and the various forms of language used by hearing impaired people. It is aimed at an audience comprising teachers and student teachers of the deaf, speech pathologists and students of speech pathology, social workers and students of social work, psychologists and students of psychology and, to some extent, the parents of deaf children and deaf people themselves. It attempts to provide a concise summary of the topic and, indeed, as well as being for the audience just described, it will be useful to anyone with an interest in the psychological, sociological, and linguistic ramifications of hearing loss.

Reviews for Language, Cognition, and Deafness

...a useful sourcebook for students as well as professionals...highly recommended as well-written and thoroughly researched. -American Scientist ...Rodda and Grove clearly want to see Sign Language (ASL) accepted as part of the educational, psychological, and cultural world of deaf adults, without demeaning the importance of speech and hearing in the communication process. This highly readable and informative book will undoubtedly help move the field in that direction, and I highly recommend it to the specialist and non- specialist alike. -J.C. MacDougall McGill University
