早期耳聋导致视觉周边的注意力增强。然而,这种增强是否会在日常生活中带来优势仍然是未知的,因为聋人已经被证明比听力正常的同龄人更容易被外围的无关信息分心。在这里,我们表明,在一个复杂的注意力任务,表现优势的结果为聋人。我们采用了有用的视野(UFOV),这需要中央目标识别与周边目标定位在干扰物存在的同时-一个分开的,选择性的注意任务。首先,对有或没有手语技能的聋人和听力正常的成年人进行比较,确定是聋人而不是手语使用驱动了UFOV的增强。第二,UFOV的表现在聋哑儿童中得到了增强,但只有在11岁之后。这项工作表明,早期听觉剥夺后,视觉注意资源向周边慢慢得到增强,最终导致一个明确的行为优势,由青春期前的选择性视觉注意任务。
Early deafness leads to enhanced attention in the visual periphery. Yet, whether this enhancement confers advantages in everyday life remains unknown, as deaf individuals have been shown to be more distracted by irrelevant information in the periphery than their hearing peers. Here, we show that, in a complex attentional task, a performance advantage results for deaf individuals. We employed the Useful Field of View (UFOV) which requires central target identification concurrent with peripheral target localization in the presence of distractors – a divided, selective attention task. First, the comparison of deaf and hearing adults with or without sign language skills establishes that deafness and not sign language use drives UFOV enhancement. Second, UFOV performance was enhanced in deaf children, but only after 11 years of age. This work demonstrates that, following early auditory deprivation, visual attention resources toward the periphery slowly get augmented to eventually result in a clear behavioral advantage by pre-adolescence on a selective visual attention task.
