Prespeech Vocalizations of a Deaf Infant: A Comparison with Normal Metaphonological Development.

Oller, D. Kimbrough; And Others

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v28 n1 p47-63 Mar 1985

Results of a comparative study of speech-like vocalizations of a deaf infant and 11 hearing infants indicated that from eight to 13 months, the deaf subject differed strikingly from hearing infants of comparable age. The topography of the deaf infant's vocalizations resembled that of four- to six-month-old hearing infants. (Author/CL)
