Abstract:The cognitive and communicative development of five hearing-impaired preschoolers were evaluated over a three month period to determine if any interrelationships exist among cognitive level, gestural development, and spoken English ability. Level of cognitive development did not appear to be related to the number of separate pragmatic intents and semantic functions expressed nonverbally. However, cognitive level appeared to be related to the number of combinations of pragmatic-semantic categories, and to a lesser degree to the total number of gestural acts used. The one subject who was able to communicate vocally showed the highest cognitive level and an increase in the number of vocal combinations expressed across the three months. Implications for facilitating cognitive and communicative growth in the preschool deaf child are discussed. |
