Marc Marschark is Professor at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, a college of Rochester Institute of Technology, where he directs the Center for Education Research Partnerships. His primary interest is in relations among language, learning, and cognition; current research focuses on such relations among deaf children and adults in formal and informal educational settings.Harry Knoors is Professor at the Behavioural Science Institute of the Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands, and Academic Director at Royal Dutch Kentalis. Knoors is trained as a psycholinguist, specializing in language and literacy of deaf children. He is involved in research on childhood deafness (mainly language, literacy, and psychosocial development) and research on the effectiveness of special education.

The Oxford Handbook of Deaf Studies in Learning and Cognition provides a comprehensive, well-documented review of current research. ... Among the important and sometimes controversial topics they discuss are the various factors impacting learning for DHH individuals, including the use (or non-use) of sign language, early detection and intervention, and cochlear implants. This handbook is recommended for researchers interested in cognitive psychology, child development, and education, and how these fields may be informed by the experiences of DHH people, young children in particular.
