Deaf adults in society 127 Appendix 4.: Index of authors 133 Appendix B: Presenters and chairpersons 139 The program of the 1990 International Congess on Education of the Deaf includes 106 concurrtnt prosam sessions and two poster sessions, with a total of more than 400 individual presentations, panels, and symposia. More than 600 presenters, panelists, co-authors, and chairpersons have come together from 56 countries to contribute to these sessions. A Call for Prcsentations was distributed worldwide early in 1989, resulting in the submission of more than 700 abstracts for pmgram consideration. The abstracts that appear in Proceedings I were selected by the National Program Committee for presentation. Unfortunately, many abstracts of high merit could not be accepted because of space limitations on the program. Topics The progiam for the 1990 ICED is organized around 12 major topics.These topics were selected in 1988 by the program co-chairpersons and the International Program Committee. Subtopics wereadded to clarify individual topks and to encourage presentations in particular areas of interest. The 12 major topics are: Development of language skills Communication Instruction Cognition and learning Educational policies and services Organization and administration of schools and programs Students with special needs Psychosocial development and physical/mental health Education and work College and continuing education Audiological and medical aspects of deafness Deaf adults in society The absoacts in Proceedings I are organized by topic (see Table of Contents). There are obvious overlaps across topics, and the placement of presentations and their abstracts under one topic rather than another was sometimes arbitrary. Considerable thought was given to the question of whether to focus attention on specific needsand issues concerning the deaf children and adults of developing countries by adding jne or morespecial topics. The program planners dejded instead to integrate the presentationsof parbcular concern to participants from developing countries into the existing topics in order to broaden discussion. , Preface Abstracts The abstracts withIn each topic are organized alphabetically by last name of the presenter or first author. For nels and symposia, abstracts are listed by last name of the moderator. The names of co-authors, co- presenters, and panelists are indicated also, and their countries are identified. The date and time of each presentation are noted, together with its location. Using the date, time, and room number, the reader can identify the title of the session in which the presentation is given by consulting the Program Schedule that follows this preface.If the reader has the ICED Program Booklet, he or she can also identify the chairperson and the other presentations in the particular session. Presenters were asked to submit abstzacts in English, which is a second or unknown language for many. Some presenters asked a second person to tzanslate the titles and content of their abstracts into English before these abstracts were submitted. Most abstracts received minor editing for formai consistency, and some were edited extensively to improve their readability in English or to reduce their length.In the editing, an effort has been made to keep the essential information in each abstract intact.If the editors were not always successful, they apologize. Appendices Appendix A is the "Index of authors." Alphabetically arranged, this list contains the names of authors, co- authors, and panelists who are associated with the abstracts. The page numbers of their abstracts are indicated for easy reference. Appendix B is titled "Presenters and Chairpersons." Organized alphabetically, this list includes persons' names, occupations, organizational/institutional affiliations, and their cities and countries of residence. iv Preface Acknowledgment We thank the staff members in the Division of Management Services for production support, the Department of Instructional Design & Evaluation for design, and the Division of Public Affairs for writing and management support of these Proceedings.

  • Sign Language Typology Series
    SIGN LANGUAGE TYPOLOGY SERIES The Sign Language Typology Series is dedicated to the comparative study of sign languages around the world. Individual or collective works that systematically explore typological variation across sign languages are the focus of this series, with particular emphasis on undocumented, underdescribed and endangered sign languages. The scope of the series primarily includes cross-linguistic studies of grammatical domains across a larger or smaller sample of sign languages, but also encompasses the study of individual sign languages from a typological perspective and comparison between signed and spoken languages in terms of language modality, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to sign language typology.

    Downloaded by [New York University] at 06:54 14 August 2016 Classic Case Studies in Psychology The human mind is both extraordinary and compelling. But this is more than a collection of case studies; it is a selection of stories that illustrate some of the most extreme forms of human behaviour. From the leader who convinced his followers to kill themselves to the man who lost his memory; from the boy who was brought up as a girl to the woman with several personalities, Geoff Rolls illustrates some of the most fundamental tenets of psychology. Each case study has provided invaluable insights for scholars and researchers, and amazed the public at large. Several have been the inspiration for works of fiction, for example the story of Kim Peek, the real Rain Man. This new edition features three new case studies, including the story of Charles Decker who was tried for the attempted murder of two people but acquitted on the basis of a neurological condition, and Dorothy Martin, whose persisting belief in an impending alien invasion is an illuminating example of cognitive dissonance. In addition, each case study is contextualized with more typical behaviour, while the latest thinking in each sub-field is also discussed. Classic Case Studies in Psychology is accessibly written and requires no prior knowledge of psychology, but simply an interest in the human condition. It is a book that will amaze, sometimes disturb, but above all enlighten its readers. Downloaded by [New York University] at 06:54 14 August 2016 Geoff Rolls is Head of Psychology at Peter Symonds College in Winchester and formerly a Research Fellow at Southampton University, UK.

Join this global competition to create books for children in languages they use and understand. Literacy leads to better health, broadens employment opportunities, and creates safer and more stable societies. However, more than 387 million children are not expected to read or do basic math by the end of primary school.1 For the more than 93 million children with disabilities globally, learning outcomes are even lower, as they are less likely to go to school and have access to accessible learning resources.

University of Pittsburgh, 2017 Background: Language experiences of Deaf individuals are variable and impact cognitive- linguistic functioning. Deaf individuals in the U.S. who use American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary communication method must learn to read and write in English; however they typically exhibit difficulty in doing so due to many factors. Cognitive-linguistic functions, such as inhibition and other executive attentional mechanisms, play a key role in literacy acquisition. One task that measures inhibitory functions is the Stroop task. The Stroop effect has been studied in the Deaf ASL population, however results were inconclusive and studies have focused on the single-word level only. Procedures: This study included 15 hearing non-proficient (HNP), 15 hearing proficient (HP), and 15 Deaf proficient (DP) ASL users.
