Research measured the attention of deaf children to captioned visuals using a conjugate reinforcement procedure. The subjects were six deaf children aged eight to 15, whose IQs fell within the normal range. The stimulus material consisted of slides produced from a captioned filmstrip; subjects controlled the presentation of the stimulus via a pressing response. The results of the study failed to indicate any difference between attention to captioned visuals and attention to non-captioned visuals. No optimal words-per-minute presentation rate appeared. The researcher hypothesized that these negative findings may have been attributable to the small sample size and therefore recommended that the study be replicated with a larger sample. (PB)
