Signs as Pictures and Signs as Words: Effect of Language Knowledge on Memory for New Vocabulary.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Siple, Patricia; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1982
The role of sensory attributes in a vocabulary learning task was investigated for a non-oral language using deaf and hearing individuals, more or less skilled in the use of sign language. Skilled signers encoded invented signs in terms of linguistic structure rather than as visual-pictorial events. (Author/RD)
