Timing Sensitivity and Age as Predictors of Sign Language Learning.

Mills, Carol Bergfeld; Jordan, I. King

Sign Language Studies, v26 p15-28 Spr 1980

Timing sensitivity (awareness of rhythm of lapsed time), age, and sex were studied as possible predictors of success in hearing adults' learning of sign language. The results of school evaluations revealed that younger hearing adults with a sensitivity for timing learned sign language faster than did other adults. (PMJ)
