Conversational Control in Mother-Child Dyads: Auditory-Oral versus Total Communication.

Musselman, Carol; Churchill, Adele

American Annals of the Deaf, v136 n1 p5-16 Mar 1991

Conversational control was compared between hearing mothers using auditory-oral communication (A/O) and those using total communication (TC) with 34 deaf preschool children. Among A/O children, maternal style reflected children's spoken language ability, whereas among TC children, maternal style related to children's social development, and conversational control was higher.
