Features: This book is a specialized research monograph that for the first time expands the study of discourse comprehension processes to special populations and draws some innovative conclusions. The book is divided into three parts, including the research background and overall design (Chapters 1 and 2), a series of experimental studies (Chapters 3 and 4), and a comprehensive discussion and summary (Chapter 5). The author breaks away from traditional research methods, focusing on discourse comprehension, incorporates current discourse comprehension theoretical models, and employs a design that combines both immediate and delayed eye-tracking analysis. The study conducts a comparative cognitive research on profoundly deaf students before language development and normally hearing students in a step-by-step manner. This book is valuable for researchers in psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, as well as special education researchers and practitioners.
