Hearing Status and Language Fluency as Predictors of Automatic Word and Sign Recognition.
Marschark, Marc; Shroyer, Edgar H.
American Annals of the Deaf, v138 n4 p370-75 Oct 1993
This study of the automatic word and sign recognition of 66 hearing and deaf adults found that responding in sign took longer and created more Stroop interference than responding orally, independent of hearing status. Deaf subjects showed greater automaticity in recognizing signs than words, whereas hearing subjects showed greater automaticity in recognizing words than signs. (Author/JDD)
