Age at implantation and development of vocal and auditory preverbal skills in implanted deaf children
TL;DR: Vocal and auditory preverbal skills develop much more rapidly in children implanted between 1 and 2 years in comparison with older implanted children and reach a significantly higher level by 6 and 12 months post-implantation.

TL;DR: Profoundly deaf bilaterally implanted children are significantly more likely to use vocalisation to communicate, and to use audition when interacting vocally with an adult, compared with unilaterally implanted children.

Communication development in young deaf children: review of the video analysis method
TL;DR: There is a significant association between the preverbal measure of 'autonomy' obtained before implantation and later speech perception performance, which suggests that intervention that promotes autonomy in adult-child interaction may lead to improved outcomes.
The use and reliability of Tait video analysis in assessing preverbal language skills in profoundly deaf and normally hearing children under 12 months of age.
TL;DR: The very high rate of inter-observer reliability suggests that the video recordings of children under 12 months can be scored consistently, and Tait video analysis is therefore a valid method of monitoring the development of vocal and auditory preverbal skills in very young deaf children, either following cochlear implantation or using acoustic hearing aids.
Deaf children with cochlear implants before the age of 1 year: comparison of preverbal communication with normally hearing children.
TL;DR: In deaf implanted children under 1 year of age, some preverbal communication behaviors are developing to an extent (although at a somewhat lower level) not significantly different from those of age-matched normally hearing children.
