Important research will be shared related to the visual modality and what happens when as Petitto's says, "the lion's share of knowledge comes from the eyes." What is the impact of that on brain structure and brain function? And particularly, how does this relate to early language acquisition? This webinar will use a different format from previous webinars. The first part will feature a pre-recorded tour of the Brain Lab with Petitto and her lab assistants. During the second part, Petitto will interact with viewers in a live question-and-answer session.

A webinar offered by the Laurent Clerk National Deaf Education Center.
