| Abstract | Two experiments were conducted on short-term recall of printed English words by deaf signers of American Sign Language. Compared with hearing Subjects (N = 32), deaf Subjectss (N = 32) recalled significantly fewer words when ordered recall of words was required, but not when free recall was required. Deaf Ss tended to use a speech-based code in probed recall for order & the greater the reliance on a speech-based code, the more accurate the recall. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that a speech code facilitates the retention of order information. |
