“…To understand the unique effects of visual-manual language experience on visual processing, the current study compared face and biological motion perception in bimodal bilinguals (ASL users with typical hearing) and controls (individuals with typical hearing and no ASL experience). If the perceptual advantages previously demonstrated by D/deaf signers (de Heering et al, 2012;He et al, 2016;Megreya & Bindermann, 2017;Bavelier et al, 2001;Bosworth & Dobkins, 2002;Codina et al, 2011;Shiell et al, 2014;Simon et al, 2020;Stevens & Neville, 2006) were the direct result of sign language experience, bimodal bilinguals might be expected to show similar advantages when compared to non-signing controls. Bimodal bilinguals also completed an online test of ASL proficiency to further explore the potential relationship between visual-manual language expertise and visual perceptual function.…”

“…Both face perception (de Heering et al, 2012;He et al, 2016;Megreya & Bindermann, 2017;but see McCullough and Emmorey, 1997) and motion processing (Bavelier et al, 2001;Bosworth & Dobkins, 2002;Codina et al, 2011;Shiell et al, 2014;Simon et al, 2020;Stevens & Neville, 2006) have been previously shown to be enhanced in D/deaf individuals relative to typical-hearing controls. The current study demonstrates that the introduction of visual-manual language is not sufficient to introduce similar visual perceptual advantages in adults with typical hearing.…”

Long term sensory and language experience can affect brain organization and domain-general abilities. For example, D/deaf individuals show superior visual perception compared to hearing controls in several domains, including the perception of faces and peripheral motion. While these enhancements may be the direct result of sensory loss and subsequent neural plasticity, they may also reflect experience using a visual-manual language, like American Sign Language (ASL), where signers must process moving hand signs and facial cues simultaneously. In an effort to help disentangle these concurrent sensory experiences, we examined how learning sign language influenced visual abilities by comparing bimodal bilinguals (i.e., sign language users with typical hearing) and hearing non-signers. Bimodal bilinguals and hearing non-signers completed online psychophysical measures of face matching and biological motion discrimination. No significant group differences were observed across these two tasks, suggesting that sign language experience is insufficient to induce perceptual advantages in typical-hearing adults. However, ASL proficiency (but not years of experience or age of acquisition) was found to predict performance on the motion perception task among bimodal bilinguals. Overall, the results presented here highlight a need for more nuanced study of how linguistic environments, sensory experience, and cognitive functions impact broad perceptual processes and underlying neural correlates.

“…Hearing individuals also tend to look more at the face, but they concentrate their gaze on the nose and center of the face (Watanabe, Matsuda, Nishioka, & Namatame, 2011). In addition, deaf people are more sensitive, compared with hearing nonsigners, to detect changes around the mouth (an area that provides substantial information in sign language) (He, Xu, & Tanaka, 2016).…”

Use of sign language does not favor recognition of static and dynamic emotional faces in deaf people.

Facial expressions are especially relevant for deaf people because, in addition to the emotional content, they assume linguistic functions exclusive to sign languages. Objective: We aimed to verify whether the better recognition of facial expressions in deaf people is also maintained for stimuli with greater ecological validity. Method: In the present study, we investigated the recognition of static (photographs) and dynamic (videos) facial expressions in: (a) deaf signers with profound congenital or early acquired deafness (up to 2 years of age); (b) hearing individuals who knew sign language; and (c) hearing individuals who did not know sign language. Facial expressions of joy, sadness, fear, and anger in static and dynamic conditions were presented at 4 intensities (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). Results: In the dynamic condition, we found that deaf individuals had lower recognition scores compared with the other 2 groups of hearing individuals (p Ͻ .05). However, in the static condition, no differences between groups were found (p Ͼ .05). Conclusion:Those results indicate that the use of facial expressions in sign language does not necessarily favor emotion recognition, probably because facial expressions have linguistic properties not related to emotional content.
