Summary:

'Deaf Cognition' examines the cognitive underpinnings of deaf individuals' learning. It contributes to the science of learning by describing and testing theories that might either over- or underestimate the role that audition or vision plays in learning and memory, and by shedding light on multiple pathways for learning.
