Laughter among deaf signers.
The placement of laughter in the speech of hearing individuals is not random but "punctuates" speech, occurring during pauses and at phrase boundaries where punctuation would be placed in a transcript of a conversation. For speakers, language is dominant in the competition for the vocal tract since laughter seldom interrupts spoken phrases. For users of American Sign Language, however, laughter...
متن کاملSimple Spans in Deaf Signers and Hearing Non-Signers
Short-term memory is traditionally assessed by digit span tests. Deaf signers (DS) have repeatedly been reported to perform at lower levels on this test than hearing non-signers (NH [3]), despite equal performance on more complex working memory tasks and other cognitive tasks. Hearing signers have also been shown to perform at lower levels when they are tested on sign language compared to spoke...
متن کاملEnhanced image generation abilities in deaf signers: a right hemisphere effect.
Deaf subjects who use American Sign Language as their primary language generated visual mental images faster than hearing nonsigning subjects when stimuli were initially presented to the right hemisphere. Deaf subjects exhibited a strong right hemisphere advantage for image generation using either categorical or coordinate spatial relations representations. In contrast, hearing subjects showed ...
متن کاملVisual imagery and visual-spatial language: enhanced imagery abilities in deaf and hearing ASL signers.
The ability to generate visual mental images, to maintain them, and to rotate them was studied in deaf signers of American Sign Language (ASL), hearing signers who have deaf parents, and hearing non-signers. These abilities are hypothesized to be integral to the production and comprehension of ASL. Results indicate that both deaf and hearing ASL signers have an enhanced ability to generate rela...
متن کاملAutomatic use of phonological codes during word recognition in deaf signers of Spanish Sign Language
The poor reading skills often found in deaf readers are typically explained on the basis of underspecified print-to-sound mapping and poorer use of spoken phonology. Whilst prior research using explicit phonological tasks has shown that deaf readers can use phonological codes when required, an open question is whether congenitally deaf readers can automatically use phonological codes when readi...
