“…Interestingly, when measuring electrophysiological brain activity through evoked potentials, improvements in visual attention related to saliency processing and orienting of attention have been observed as early as 3 years of age. These measures demonstrate improvement during the early years in deaf children, indicating early and differential development of these components of attention (Campbell and Sharma, 2016;de Schonen et al, 2018;Gabr et al, 2022;Corina et al, 2024).…”

The impact of deafness on visual attention has been widely discussed in previous research. It has been noted that deficiencies and strengths of previous research can be attributed to temporal or spatial aspects of attention, as well as variations in development and clinical characteristics. Visual attention is categorized into three networks: orienting (exogenous and endogenous), alerting (phasic and tonic), and executive control. This study aims to contribute new neuroscientific evidence supporting this hypothesis. This paper presents a systematic review of the international literature from the past 15 years focused on visual attention in the deaf population. The final review included 24 articles. The function of the orienting network is found to be enhanced in deaf adults and children, primarily observed in native signers without cochlear implants, while endogenous orienting is observed only in the context of gaze cues in children, with no differences found in adults. Results regarding alerting and executive function vary depending on clinical characteristics and paradigms used. Implications for future research on visual attention in the deaf population are discussed.
