Capturing and Maintaining Deaf Toddler Gaze in Pretend Play: A Comparison of Dyads With Deaf and Hearing Mothers
Abstract
dc:descriptionAn examination of behaviors related to joint attention during toy play in eight deaf mother-deaf toddler and eight hearing mother-deaf toddler dyads was conducted. The gaze patterns of the 18- to 28-month-old toddlers and selected aspects of maternal communicative behavior were analyzed to determine the relative success of the two groups of mothers in capturing and maintaining their toddlers' gaze and to determine if any differences in maternal behavior related to that success.
