To integrate often contrasting approaches of clinical and cultural researchers, this work assembles contributions from experts in anthropology, psychology, linguistics, education, cognition, and neurophysiology to examine the effects of family, peers, and schools on deaf children. They discuss the clinical assessment of deaf people's cognitive abilities, the impact of sign language expertise on visual perception, and cognition and language in deaf preschoolers from deaf and hearing families. Other subjects include vocabulary development, emotional development in deaf children, and social conflict. Clark teaches psychology at Shippensburg University. Annotation c.
