NSF and Gallaudet University?s Science of Learning Center for Visual Language and Visual Learning (VL2) entails multidisciplinary projects sharing in scientific purpose the discovery of how aspects of higher cognition are realized through one of human?s most central senses, vision. Through the enhancing lens of natural signed languages, projects investigate how deafness and visual languages provide a window into the flexibility and structure of the human mind. Projects identify the effects of visual processes, visual language, and social experience on visual learners? development of cognition, language, and reading and literacy. Visual learning is unraveled in monolinguals and bilinguals spanning development, to promote optimal practices across educational settings. Center projects are divided into seven Strategic Focus Areas. Four involve state-of-the-art scientific research, neuroimaging, and/or computational modeling, each rendering emerging findings to educational intervention design, including, Visual & Cognitive Plasticity, Language Development & Bilingualism, Reading & Literacy, and Translational Research to Educational Practice. Three involve, Translational outreach, Center Management, and Diversity. Uniqueness: Deaf and hearing scientists and educators; two-way dialog among researchers and teachers/public; Student Leadership Teams; infrastructure promoting national and international resource sharing across vast partnership institutions; capacity to serve as the nation?s ?first-response? regarding educational priorities. Broader Significance: Center products ensure advances in education for students at risk for low achievement. Comparative analyses of auditory and visual bases for language, reading, and print-literacy lead to new paradigms for understanding learning essential for enhancing educational, social, and vocational outcomes for all humans, deaf and hearing, consequently transforming the Science of Learning.

国家科学基金会和加洛德特大学？S视觉语言和视觉学习科学学习中心(VL2)包括多个学科项目，分享如何通过人类最核心的感觉之一--S的视觉--实现高等认知的各个方面。通过自然手语的增强镜头，项目调查了耳聋和视觉语言如何为了解人类思维的灵活性和结构提供了一个窗口。项目确定视觉过程、视觉语言和社会经验对视觉学习者的影响？认知、语言、阅读和识字的发展。视觉学习在单语者和双语者跨越发展的情况下展开，以促进教育环境中的最佳实践。中心项目分为七个战略重点领域。其中四项涉及最先进的科学研究、神经成像和/或计算建模，每一项都将新发现提供给教育干预设计，包括视觉与认知可塑性、语言发展与双语、阅读与识字以及教育实践的翻译研究。涉及三个方面：翻译外展、中心管理和多样性。独特性：聋哑科学家和教育工作者；研究人员和教师/公众之间的双向对话；学生领导团队；促进大型合作机构共享国内和国际资源的基础设施；服务国家的能力？S？第一反应？关于教育优先事项。更广泛的意义：中心的产品确保了对有学习困难风险的学生的教育进步。对语言、阅读和印刷识字的听觉和视觉基础的比较分析导致了理解学习的新范式，这对于提高所有人、聋人和听力人的教育、社会和职业成果至关重要，从而改变了学习科学。
