Recall of English Function Words and Inflections by Skilled and Average Deaf Readers.

Kelly, Leonard P.

American Annals of the Deaf, v138 n3 p288-96 Jul 1993

The performance of 17 youth on a verbatim recall task indicated that skilled deaf readers are more able than average deaf readers to sustain a record of English function words and inflections. The relative speed of skilled readers when making lexical decisions about phonologically similar word pairs indicated greater access to phonological information during word reading. (Author/JDD)
