Objective:
Vocal turn-taking is an important predictor of language development in
children with and without hearing loss. Most studies have examined vocal
turn-taking in mother-child dyads without considering the multitalker context
in a child’s life. The present study investigates the quantity of vocal turns
between deaf and hard-of-hearing children and multiple members of their
social environment.
