Peer reviewedReed, Charlotte M.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1990
The study examined the ability of five deaf-blind subjects to receive fingerspelled materials through the tactual sense, and of six deaf subjects to receive fingerspelling through the visual sense. Results found highly accurate tactual reception at normal rates and suggested that rates for visual reception are limited by the rate of manual…

Peer reviewedFischer, Susan D.; Delhorne, Lorraine A.; Reed, Charlotte M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
Videotaped productions of isolated American Sign Language signs or sentences were presented at speeds of two to six times normal. Results indicated a breakdown in intelligibility at around 2.5 to 3 times the normal rate. Results are similar to those found for auditory reception of time-compressed speech suggesting a modality-independent limit to…

Peer reviewedGonzales, Maria Diana; Montgomery, Gary T.; Fucci, Donald; Randolph, Elizabeth; Ezell, Helen; Garber, Norman; Leach, Edwin – Infant-Toddler Intervention: The Transdisciplinary Journal, 2001
This study, with 53 Mexican-American infants, found that five predictors accounted for approximately 35 percent of the variance in receptive language at 12 and 22 months with average parental generation from Mexico (acculturation) and infant visual recognition memory accounting for 14 and 15 percent of the variance, respectively. No predictors…
