First seen May 08, 2026 ยท Last updated May 08, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how deaf children ages 18-60 months learn new words in American Sign Language (ASL). Researchers used eye-tracking and simple object-choice tasks to see if children assume each object has only one sign. The goal was to understand word-learning strategies in both children who use only ASL and those who also use spoken language.
