Children born deaf, including those who have cochlear implants, have drastically different perceptual experiences of language than their hearing peers. Using functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD), we measured lateralisation during language production in a heterogeneous group of 19 deaf children and in 19 hearing children, matched on language ability. In children born deaf, we observed significant left lateralisation during language production (British Sign Language, spoken English, or a combination of languages). There was no difference in the strength of lateralisation between deaf and hearing groups. Comparable proportions of children were categorised as left-, right-, or not significantly-lateralised in each group. Moreover, an exploratory subgroup analysis showed no significant difference in lateralisation between deaf children with cochlear implants and those without. These data suggest that the processes underpinning language production remain robustly left lateralised regardless of sensory language experience. date: 2019-04 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2019.100619 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1625186 doi: 10.1016/j.dcn.2019.100619 pii: S1878-9293(18)30236-6 lyricists_name: Gutierrez Sigut, Eva lyricists_name: MacSweeney, Mairead lyricists_name: Payne, Heather lyricists_name: Woll, Bencie lyricists_id: EGUTI32 lyricists_id: MMACS91 lyricists_id: HMPAY56 lyricists_id: BWOLL21 actors_name: Payne, Heather actors_id: HMPAY56 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience volume: 36 article_number: 100619 event_location: Netherlands issn: 1878-9307 citation: Payne, H; Gutierrez-Sigut, E; Woll, B; MacSweeney, M; (2019) Cerebral lateralisation during signed and spoken language production in children born deaf.
