Abstract:
Research and issues related to cognitive diversity in deaf people will be reviewed that indicate how the visual-perceptual skills and cognitive processes of deaf people may be different from those in hearing people. It is suggested that deafness and the use of a sign language may selectively contribute to the development of such differences. Implications of the research and its limitations for enhancing the communication and educational experiences of deaf people are also discussed.
