这项研究探索了在同一时期，在言语前听力婴儿中发现的语音感知特征可能延伸到先天失聪婴儿对手语的感知。参与者是失聪的母亲[N=17]和他们的失聪婴儿；其中5个二元体被用来准备稍后向其余12个二元体播放的刺激磁带。为了制作这盘录像带，研究人员观察了这5位母亲对着婴儿或聋人朋友背诵相同的日语手语时的情景。录像带显示，母亲在与婴儿互动时使用手势的节奏明显低于与朋友互动时的速度，经常重复相同的手势，并在一定程度上夸大与每个手势相关的动作。当展示刺激录像带时，聋儿对婴儿指示的手势比成人指示的手势表现出更大的注意力和情感反应。这一事实表明，人类婴儿可能同样倾向于在言语或手势上注意母亲的特征。
The study explored the possibility that characteristics in perception of speech sounds Found in preverbal hearing infants might extend to perception of signed languages in congenitally deaf infants during the same period. Participants were deaf mothers [N = 17) and their deaf infants; 5 of the dyads were used to prepare the stimulus tape later shown to the remaining 12 dyads. To develop the tape, the 5 mothers were observed when reciting identical scripts in Japanese Sign Language either toward their infants or toward their deaf friends. The videotape showed that mothers used signs at a significantly stower tempo when interacting with their infants than when interacting with their friends, often repeating the same sign and exaggerating the movements associated with each sign somewhat. When the stimulus tape was presented, deaf infants showed greater attentional and affective responsiveness to infant-directed signing than to adult-directed signing. The fact suggests that human infants may be equally predisposed to attend to motherese characteristics in speech or sign.
