Corina Goodwin, Emily Carrigan, Kristin Walker, and Marie Coppola’s paper “Language not auditory experience is related to parent-reported executive functioning in preschool-aged deaf and hard-of-hearing children” was published in the Journal of Child Development.
This study used the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) as a parent-reported measure of preschool-aged children’s executive function, and investigated the role of language and auditory experience within this measure.
The results showed no difference between children exposed to language at birth, whether that language was spoken or signed. But children who had delayed exposure to language, whether spoken or signed, did tend to have more trouble with executive functioning.

There is no wit quite like Wilde. In The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde blends the absurdities of farce with the sharp critique of social satire, creating on of the most highly regarded comedies of all time. The play follows the double lives of Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, men who invest circumstances that give them excuses to escape the strictures of family, duty, and social responsibility. But once you begin lying, how do you know when to stop? As each man’s romantic interest becomes entangled in the web of fantasies and deceits, Wilde’s characters find themselves in a dizzying world in which “the truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
