Babies open our minds to their minds: How “listening” to infant signs complements and extends our knowledge of infants and their development

Abstract: Preverbal children are capable of explicitly communicating their own desires, emotions, and thoughts through infant signs (i.e., symbolic gestures) that they have invented or learned from caregivers. In this article, I describe seven lines of child development research and show how attending to infants' use of signs can complement and extend this knowledge of development for both scientists and caregivers. The areas of developmental research include object permanence, categorization, shared meaning, mental sta… Show more

“…Various studies conducted with hearing impaired adults and children have stated that teaching sign language to children with normal hearing at different ages as a second language was effective on their interpersonal communication, awareness of the disabled, and social interactions (Felzer, 1998), children who had grown up in families where sign language was used could express their feelings better and had higher confidence in their level of communication (Gongora & Farkas, 2009;Vallotton, 2008b), and hearing impaired children could understand adults' behaviors more easily and quickly in environments where sign language was used (Vallotton, 2008a(Vallotton, , 2009(Vallotton, , 2011. These findings support the current research participants' opinions about language use, confidence, academic support, and increased quality of interaction with sign language.…”

“…Research conducted on sign language has included suggestions regarding the participation of families with hearing-impaired children in sign language education programs and which qualities these programs should have (Felzer, 1998;Vallotton, 2008bVallotton, , 2009Vallotton, , 2011. It was stated that sign language instructors who take part in these programs should understand families; communicate with them effectively; have high levels of professional and personal competency; have improved teaching skills; have information about health, education, and child development; be open to cooperation; be able to use research methods and techniques; and have the ability to observe.…”

“…De asemenea, într-un studiu neexperimental restrâns, cu patru copii care au fost învățați să folosească semne în comunicare, Thompson, R.H. et al a arătat că aceștia au folosit semnele învățate în locul plânsului atunci când doreau să transmită o nevoie părinții lor (Thompson, et al, 2007). Rezultatele studiilor care arată că semnele promovează interacțiuni sociale pozitive cu părinții (Vallotton, 2011;Vallotton, 2010;Gongora, Farkas;Moore, et al, 2001), și că semnele pot fi folosite de către copii pentru a-și regla comportamentul (Vallotton, 2011;Vallotton, 2008) și a-și comunica nevoile (Vallotton, 2008), indică posibilitatea unei puternice corelații între introducerea semnelor la copiii aflați în fază pre-verbală și dezvoltarea abilităților sociale ale acestor, dar această ipoteză nu a fost încă testată (Vallotton, 2013).…”

“…İşitme kaybının derecesi arttıkça, çocukların konuşma üretimi ve sözcük dağarcığı azalmakta; okuma-yazma becerileri ile akademik başarıları düşmektedir (Diefendorf, 1996;Piştav-Akmeşe ve Kirazlı, 2016a). Alanyazındaki araştırma sonuçları işaret dili kullanımının bilişsel, sosyal, duygusal ve dil gelişimini olumlu anlamda etkileyerek, yaşanabilecek olumsuzlukları azaltabildiğini göstermektedir (Behne, Carpenter ve Tomasello, 2005;Felzer, 1998;Goodwyn, Acredolo ve Brown, 2000;Göl-Güven 2016;Moore, Acredolo ve Goodwyn, 2001;Vallotton, 2011) Farklı yaş ve alanlardaki işitme engelli bireylerle yapılan çalışmalar, iletişim tercihlerinin işaret dilinden yana olduğunu göstermektedir. Örneğin işitme engelli lise ögrencilerinin okul içi iletişimlerinde sıklıkla işaret dili kullanmayı tercih ettikleri, okul dışındaki iletişimlerinde zorlandıkları, konuşmayı-dudak okumayı ve yazmayı da kullanmaya çalıştıkları belirtilmiştir.…”

“…Bu bulgu çalışmada öğretmen adaylarının işaret dili eğitimlerinin kendi sosyal yaşamlarına katkı sağladığı görüşü ile örtüşmektedir. Vallotton (2009Vallotton ( -2011 Alanyazında bu görüşü destekleyen, işitme engelli bireylerin toplumsal yaşama katılımları, hizmet alımları, eğitim ve iş yaşamlarında yaşadıkları sorunlar, iletişim tercihleri, işe alım ve sağlık hizmetlerindeki takip süreçlerine yönelik yapılan araştırma örneklerine rastlanılmıştır (Gürboğa ve Kargın, 2003;Koennigsfeld, Beukelman ve Stoefen-Fisher, 1993;Parlak, 2011;Piştav-Akmeşe, 2016).…”
