| Abstract | Investigated the ability of prelingually, profoundly deaf readers to access phonological information during reading in 3 experiments that employed a task developed by D. E. Meyer et al (see PA, Vol 52:11442) in which lexical decision response times (RTs) to orthographically similar rhyming (e.g., WAVE-SAVE) and nonrhyming (e.g., HAVE-CAVE) word pairs were compared with RTs to orthographically and phonologically dissimilar control word pairs. Subjects were 43 deaf and 45 normal-hearing college students. Results indicate that access to phonological information is possible despite prelingual and profound hearing impairment and contradict claims that deaf individuals are limited to the use of visual strategies in reading. Results also suggest that the use of phonological information need not be tied to the auditory modality. |
