Thinking about Thinking: A Discussion of the Development of Cognition and Language in Deaf Children.
Peer reviewedChristensen, Kathee M. – American Annals of the Deaf, 1990
This article suggests that a Piagetian approach to education of the deaf can be applied to understanding what occurs as a deaf child comes to a point of knowledge. The article reviews current research on the relationship between language acquisition and cognitive development, and applies this research to education of deaf children. (Author/JDD)
