Document Summary
Cant see visual world: differences based on adaptations by caregivers. Caregivers can adapt but not all are great at it: differences due to blindness, more error production of speech sounds that have visible correlates, last longer too. Visible correlates, sounds apparent through lip movement like b, m, p, f, v" sounds: reduced capacity to use joint attention during word learning. Seeing children use eye gaze cues from speakers to understand what someone is referring to: fewer words known for visible things not part of here and now. Abstract concepts like the moon and flag: difficulty extending words to new instances. Many visual cues like the shape bias can no longer be used: certain syntax and lexical delays, due to high proportion of imperative forms in caregiver speech. This is an impact due to caregiver. Associated with modal verbs and questions (will, may, can type of questions) Words are used before pointing and before categorization.
