The lateralization of lip-reading: a second look.

Photographs of unfamiliar speaking faces were matched by normal right-handed subjects on the basis of perceived mouth-shape (i.e. visible speech sound) across different face-views. A clear left-hemisphere (RVF) processing advantage emerged, which was absent when the task was that of identity matching. In contrast to earlier proposals, the extraction of lip-shape from face photographs may be better managed by left-hemisphere- than right-hemisphere mechanisms even at its initial stages. This may contribute to the observed patterns of dissociations in speech-reading and in audiovisual speech-processing in neurological patients.

She can lip-read, she'll be all right: improving maternity care for the deaf and hearing-impaired.

In the UK a midwife is unlikely to meet many deaf women during her working life. Therefore very few midwives have a wealth of experience in providing care for these women. Postnatal discussion with one woman showed us that despite our good intentions the care we had given her was inadequate for her individual needs. We recognised that other deaf women were possibly receiving inadequate care. We set out to investigate this, and when we discovered that our suspicions were correct, devised a method that we hoped would improve the care we provided. The process of investigating the needs of deaf women is described in this paper together with the development of a teaching package for student and qualified midwives.
